Crescent Beef Burritos- a taco meat filling is wrapped up in crescent roll dough, baked until golden and covered with cheese. Quick and easy for a weeknight meal.

Simple Recipe- Just 6 Ingredients!

Only 6 ingredients needed to make this family favorite. It’s a wonderfully easy and delicious dinner that can be made in just 30 minutes. This recipe yields 8 burritos. You can easily half the recipe. Leftovers also reheat well.

I love to use crescent rolls as a base for an easy dinner. They cook up so buttery, flaky, and good and make a great crust or topping for a casserole. In this case they take the place of a tortilla and I have to say, it is a great substitution. These Crescent Beef Burritos are fabulously hearty and filling and wonderfully kid-friendly. The crescent roll dough is filled with a taco meat/refried bean mixture. You could add additional ingredients, but I like to keep it really simple. The taco meat mixture gets spread on the crescent roll dough and then rolled up. It’s baked until golden and then sprinkled with cheese. That’s how simple this recipe is!
