# What You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 packet taco seasoning mix
03 - 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
04 - 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
05 - 4 tablespoons butter, melted
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley

# Let's Cook!:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning to the beef, following the instructions on the seasoning packet. Stir to combine and set aside
03 - Roll out the Pillsbury Pizza Dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 10 equal rectangles
04 - Spoon a small portion of the seasoned beef onto each rectangle. Place a halved cheese stick on top of the beef. Roll the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly. Place the taco sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet
05 - In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush this mixture generously over each taco stick
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked through
07 - Allow the taco sticks to cool slightly before serving. Pair them with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping
