Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a rimmed baking sheet.
Unroll crescent dough and press seams together to form a solid crust on the pan, forming a thin edge.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and water; stir and simmer 2–3 minutes until mixture thickens.
Spread the taco meat evenly over the crescent crust.
Top with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, then sprinkle diced tomato, bell pepper, olives, and green onion.
Bake 12–15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from oven; let rest 2 minutes. Slice and garnish with sour cream, salsa, and jalapeños before serving.

Notes

Make it meaty: swap ground beef for cooked shredded chicken or turkey.
Spice option: add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne for heat.
Make ahead: assemble but don’t bake; refrigerate, then bake when ready (add 2–3 min to baking time).
For extra crispiness: pre-bake crescent crust 5 minutes before topping.
Gluten‑free: use a gluten‑free crescent dough substitute and check taco seasoning label.
