 1/2 CUP OF WATER.




 3 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning.




 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

 2 tablespoons of unsalted melted *butter.

Instructions




Use the parchment to line a rimmed baking sheet.





I set my oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.





I heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.






I added the chopped onion and cooked about 5 minutes, until tender.





I stir in the lean ground beef, then simmer until browned.






I added water and the homemade taco seasoning and stirred until well combined.





I reduce heat & boil about 7 min .





In for now, I moving parchment paper to my working board.





I placed the parchment with the pizza dough and rolled it so that it measures 10.15 inches.





I made 1.5 inch and 3 inch slices around the two long sides of the crust with a pizza cutter.





I placing ground beef in middle dough.





Utilize 3/4 cup the cheese to coat the beef, then I adding the diced tomato.





I folded the end up, starting at one end of the braid, and wrapped the first two slices to secure it.





For remaining tranches, I repeated wrapping just before last two.





I folded remaining end up & wrapped round it to protecting last two tranches .





I gently brushed the top and sides with the melted butter. And I sprinkled on top of the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.





On the rimmed baking sheet, I moved the parchment and baked until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.





I let cool before serving for 5 minutes.





For the garnish, I covered the top with chopped romaine lettuce and additional tomatoes. And serve the taco braid with sour cream and taco sauce.





It was delicious like I said and I really hope your families will enjoy it. Mine definitely did.






Kids will have fun eating it and it will be a great take out picnic lunch.







Enjoy
