  • diced tomato+more for topping.
  • TBSP.Of melted* unsalted butter.

  • DIRECTIONS:
  • STEP 1:
  • Using the parchment to arrange a rimmed baking sheet by lining it.
  • I set my oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • STEP 2:
  • I heat the olive oil in a big skillet over medium heat.
  • I added in the chopped onion and cooked for around 5 minutes until tender.
  • I stir in the Lean Ground Beef then I simmer until brown.
  • I added water and the homemade taco-seasoning and I blended until well combined.
  • I lower the heat and boil for 7 minutes.
  • STEP 3:
  • In the meantime I moved the parchment paper to my work board.
  • I placed the parchment with the pizza dough and I rolled it so that it measures 10.15inches.
  • I made slices 1 inch and a half and 3 inches around the two long sides of the crust with a pizza cutter.
  • I placed the ground beef in the middle of the dough.
  • Using a 3/4 cup of cheese to coat the beef and then I added the diced tomato.
  • I folded the end up beginning at one end of the braid, and wrapped the first two slices to secure it.
  • STEP 4:
  • For the remaining slices I repeated the wrapping only before the last two.
  • I folded up the remaining end and wrapped around it to protect the last two slices.
  • STEP 5:
  • I brushed the top and sides softly with the molten butter. And I sprinkled on top of the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
  • STEP 6:
  • On to the rimmed baking sheet I moved the parchment, and I baked until golden brown, for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • I let it cool before serving for 5 minutes.
  • STEP 7:
  • For the topping I covered the top with chopped Romaine lettuce and additional tomato. And serve the taco braid with sour cream and taco sauce.
  • It was delicious like I said and I really hope it would be enjoyed by your families. Mine definitely did.
  • The kids are going to have fun eating it and it’s going to be a great meal to take to a picnic.
  • Enjoy.

  1. My absolute favorite kind of cuisine is Mexican food. My husband and my kids will be willing to have tacos a couple of times a week, but that works out to my benefit. It gives me an opportunity to get creative with stuff like this Simple Taco Braid.
  2. Spice up a taco night with a Simple Taco Braid at your home! It’s a fantastic twist on a classic, stuffed with tasty taco meat and creamy, melted cheese.
