2 cloves garlic minced
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can crescent rolls or biscuits
1 cup regular fritos
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
Salsa olives and spring onions for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350

While the ground beef is cooking, press the package of crescent rolls into a deep dish 9" pie plate. Bake in the 350 oven for 5 minutes. Then remove and set aside.
When ground beef is just past pink, add the taco seasoning, 1/4 cup water and stir well. Then put the lid on the pan and heat for another 2-3 minutes. Drain well before proceeding.

Notes

How to Add MORE Flavor to this recipe:

Use flavored chips instead of plain
Pick up some SHARP cheddar cheese.
Use TWO packets of taco seasoning.
Moderate the heat of this dish by using either plain or HOT taco seasoning.
Mix half ground beef and half chorizo to replace the beef.

Substitutions:

1 tsp of garlic powder for the minced garlic
1 tsp of onion powder for the onion powder

PRO TIP: Make sure when you are cooking the ground beef that you only cook it till it is just past pink. If you cook it till well done, it will be too dry in the final recipe.
