  • ½ cup (129.5 g) salsa
  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits, not flaky
  • ½ cup (56.5 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
Garlic Butter
  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon taco seasoning
For Serving
  • cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 8-10 minutes, or until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary. Add taco seasoning and salsa. Stir to combine and set aside.
Assembly
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F* and spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about a 5-inch circle with ⅛-inch thickness.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of cheese on top of each biscuit.
  4. Top the cheese with an equal amount of taco meat, about ⅓ cup each.
  5. Pinch the edges of the biscuit together to seal the mixture inside.
  6. Place the sealed biscuits, seam-side down, into the prepared skillet.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, and taco seasoning.
  8. Brush the top of each biscuit with the garlic butter.
  9. Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Garnish with cilantro and serve with salsa and sour cream.
