Main ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 cup seasoned ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup taco sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- On a floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle, aiming for about ¼ inch thickness.
Assembly
- Cut the dough into strips about 2-3 inches wide. Place a spoonful of the meat mixture along the center of each strip and sprinkle with cheese.
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal them. Place the filled sticks on a greased baking sheet.
Baking
- Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with additional taco sauce for dipping!
