Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 1 can (10 oz) Old El Paso™ Mild Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
  • 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey jack cheese blend (8 oz)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomato
  • 1/2 cup diced avocado

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and chiles over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain.
  • 3
    Stir in half of the enchilada sauce; cook 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  • 4
    Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place 2 tablespoons beef mixture on wide end of 1 triangle. Roll up, starting at shortest side of triangle, rolling to opposite point. Place each filled crescent into baking dish. Repeat with remaining triangles and beef mixture.
  • 5
    Pour remaining half of enchilada sauce over filled crescents. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese.
  • 6
    Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Top each serving with diced tomato and avocado.
