Our little family of 4 has always enjoyed tacos until recently my youngest suddenly announced she “HATES” tacos. Cue the collective GASP as I sniff back a tear and put my favourite stand-by taco recipe into the do not use pile. Honestly I hadn’t realized this would be such a pain in the tush until my eldest was begging for tacos and Chelsea was adamant that she won’t eat them….a quandry which I hadn’t solved until I saw an image on Facebook for what looked to be a Crescent Roll Tacos Recipe.
I decided to try and recreate my own recipe, figuring the worst case scenario would have me driving for take out if it was a flop.
In the end it was a huge hit! Everyone enjoyed this crescent roll taco dish, even my father asked for seconds!

WOW Good thing I served tacos and nachos when I did this summer. We will definitely have to plan for a different meal next year!
I’ve totally got to try this after how good the can biscuit pizza rolls turned out. These ones: http://bigdudefood.blogspot.ca/2013/11/saw-pic-that-went-viral-on-facebook-and.html
This recipe looked delicious and a good idea for making tacos. Wrong…the dough was raw in the center and bottom after baking for more than 15 minutes..it was brown on top, could not leave it in any longer. Do not recommend making this . It turned out a gigantic mess.
Thank you for letting me know, I’m very surprised as it turns out perfectly for us. I’m inclined to note that the filling shouldn’t be too wet or it will end up steaming the dough rather than baking which could affect the end result.
I made this last night, and it was a huge hit for all of us! Then inside was perfectly cooked along with the outside! I will defiantly make this again, and recommend it to others!
This looks incredible, and I know this will go over great with my family! I pinned!
