These 4-ingredient cheesy taco sticks are a quick and easy family dinner. I love how you can make them with Pillsbury pizza dough as a simple shortcut. My whole family goes wild over these- they’re sooo good!
Let’s Just Get This Out There!
These Cheesy Taco Sticks are a total game-changer for busy weeknights, and I cannot stop making them.
Here’s the scoop:
The cheesy taco sticks themselves? Buttery bread on the outside, melty cheese and taco meat on the inside. They are golden, gooey, savory perfection. I’m not proud of how many I have “taste-tested” straight off the pan, but honestly… no regrets. Mom tax! ;)
And the best part?! They only take FOUR ingredients! All you need is Pillsbury pizza dough, taco meat, cheese sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce. It’s the ultimate easy shortcut dinner that makes you look like you tried way harder than you actually did.
Andy and the kids all loved these taco sticks! We kept theirs super simple with taco meat + cheese, and they devoured them. Such an easy homerun dinner that actually gets the family excited. Those are my favorite kind recipes to make and share with you guys!
Pair taco sticks with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole and you’ve got the perfect weeknight dinner, snacky Friday-night treat, or even a fun party appetizer. Honestly, I could eat these multiple times a week without getting tired of them.
Trust me when I say, once you try them, they’ll be on repeat in your kitchen too!
