The recipe includes variations such as a vegetarian version with black beans and corn, a spicy version with jalapenos and chili powder, and a breakfast version with scrambled eggs and bacon.

TACO RING - PAMPERED CHEF
This is a family favorite. We love tacos but out of season we are unable to get good veggies to make regular tacos and it looks pretty when complete. I did see a similar recipe online but the ingredients I have are a little different, mostly qty. So I guess it is up to you which you use.

Transfer the beef to a Classic Batter Bowl. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, and water.Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles, slightly overlapping, in a circle on a Large Round Stone with the wide ends of the triangles overlapping in the center and points toward the outside. There should be a 5" (13-cm)-diameter opening in the center of the stone. The narrow triangle points of dough will extend off the edge of the baking stone.Using a Large Scoop, scoop the filling evenly over the dough in a continuous circle. Bring the points of triangles up over the filling and tuck them under the dough at center to form a ring. (Filling will show.) Brush the top with the egg white. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

TACO RING (FROM PAMPERED CHEF)
I attended a Pampered Chef party and had this taco ring. I had ate them many times but was always to scared to make one. It's so easy--took me a few times to make it look pretty but it's really simple to do, just experiment around with it. My kids now request these instead of regular tacos. I was out of black olives tonight, so I used green--the toppings are your personal choice really! Makes 16 rolls but we can't eat just one!
