Tex-Mex Pork Crescent Roll Squares Recipe

Prep Time::20 mins

Cook Time::20 mins

Total Time::40 mins

Servings::32

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

¾ pound cooked pulled pork, or any diced, cooked pork

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®), drained

3 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix

4 ounces crumbled cotija cheese

1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced (Optional)

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste (Optional)

1 lime, cut into wedges (Optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Cut a 13×18-inch piece of parchment paper; place on a work surface. Unroll crescent roll dough and place on the parchment paper, slightly overlapping the long sides of the two pieces of dough.

Lightly flour a rolling pin; roll over the overlapping dough edges and over the perforations to create one 12×17-inch seamless piece of dough. Carefully lift the parchment paper with dough and fit into a 13×18-inch metal sheet pan.

Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Cheddar evenly over the dough; follow with pulled pork. Scatter drained beans and drained RO-TEL® over pulled pork; sprinkle on green onions, taco seasoning, and remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and the visible edges of the crescent dough are browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove to a wire rack. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over all.

Scatter jalapeño slices, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro over if using.

Cut into 32 squares with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter; place on a warmed serving platter with lime wedges, if using.

Cook's Notes:

Use RO-TEL® Original or Hot, whichever you prefer.

Use hot or mild purchased taco seasoning, or make your own, from one of the recipes on the site.
