Add taco seasoning and salsa to ground beef and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked beef on top of the crescent roll. Followed by the shredded cheese.

Notes

You can also use the full sheet crescent rolls.

If you like a crispier crust bake just the crescent roll for 4-5 minutes then add the meat and cheese and continue baking

I recommend using jarred salsa, It's thicker than fresh salsa.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
