These cheesy taco sticks are the ultimate handheld snack—stuffed with seasoned beef and melty cheese, wrapped in soft dough, and baked until golden. Perfect for quick dinners, parties, or lunchboxes, these taco-flavored breadsticks are ready in just 20 minutes and packed with bold, satisfying flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning + 1/3 cup water
  • 1–1½ cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough or crescent dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
  • Optional toppings: garlic powder, chili flakes, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain grease.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened. Remove from heat.
  4. Roll out dough and cut into 10–12 rectangles.
  5. Add a spoonful of taco meat and cheese to each piece. Fold and seal tightly.
  6. Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush tops with oil or butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder or chili flakes if desired.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and puffed.
  8. Cool slightly and serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes

  • Add-ins like black beans, corn, or jalapeños bring extra texture and spice.
  • Shredded chicken or scrambled eggs make great filling swaps.
  • For crispier results, reheat in air fryer or oven—not microwave.
  • Homemade dough works well for a chewier bite.
  • Don’t overfill and seal seams tightly to prevent leaks.
