How to Make Ground Beef Mexi Wraps

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef with 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp southwest seasoning. Cook for 9-10 minutes, or until beef is cooked through and browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Drain excess grease from the skillet.
  4. Unroll one 8-ounce can of crescent roll dough and gently press seams together.
  5. Separate the dough into 6 equal squares and place them onto a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each square.
  6. Place one pickled jalapeño pepper (or other chile) cut-side up onto each crescent roll square.
  7. Top each pepper with 1/4 cup of the seasoned ground beef mixture, 1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tbsp habanero lime salsa (or your preferred salsa), and 1 tbsp chopped red onion.
  8. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and repeat steps 4-6 to create 6 more wraps.
  9. Place a second crescent roll square on top of each meat filling, gently pressing down the edges without sealing completely.
  10. Sprinkle each wrap with an additional 1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crescent rolls are golden brown.
  12. Garnish with sour cream, chopped scallions, cilantro, sliced black olives, additional raw red onion, and extra salsa, as desired.
