Taco-spiced beef and cheese wrapped in golden breadsticks with buttery garlic topping for a fun meal.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 packet taco seasoning mix or homemade taco seasoning
03 - 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
04 - 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved

→ Topping and Seasoning

05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large baking sheet with non-stick spray. Set aside.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, break up ground beef with a wooden spoon and cook until fully browned. Drain excess fat, return beef to skillet, add taco seasoning, and stir until beef is well coated and mixture is fragrant. Allow to cool to room temperature.
03 - Roll pizza dough out on a work surface. Slice the dough in half lengthwise, then make 4 vertical cuts to create 10 equal rectangles.
04 - Place approximately 1 tablespoon of seasoned ground beef in the center of each dough rectangle. Top with a halved cheese stick and gently roll up the dough, pinching all seams to enclose the filling.
05 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolled breadsticks.
06 - Arrange breadsticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with preferred taco toppings.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the beef mixture is cooled before assembling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
