Taco bake
2 lb ground beef or ground turkey
2 packets taco seasoning 
1 can kernel corn
2 cans Rotel tomatoes, undrained
1 lb Mexican Velveeta cheese (I used Mexican Velveeta)
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
sour cream
salsa

Preheat oven to 375.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and drain the fat.  Return meat to skillet, add taco seasoning and Rotel tomatoes.  Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.

Lightly spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.  Press one can of crescent rolls in the bottom of the pan.  Top with ground beef.  Slice Velveeta and lay on top of meat.  Top with remaining can of crescent rolls.

Bake 20-25 minutes, until crescent rolls are brown.  Top with favorite toppings - sour cream, salsa, jalapeƱos, guacamole, lettuce.


My quick guacamole recipe:

4 Ripe avacodoes
1/4 cup of hot salsa 
1Tbs. chicken boulion 



Cut and spoon out the avacodoes into a bowl(minus the seeds there a little to crunchy)
mash the avacodoes and mix in the rest of ingredients and mix till desired consistancy.
