Taco Sticks Recipe

Taco sticks are a quick, family friendly meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or feeding those small ranch hands right after school. We have a few of those. They’re stuffed with beef and cheese and basically wrapped in a soft breadstick. They’re like tacos you can eat on the go – and my kids love them!

Taco sticks are so easy to make, freezer-friendly, and totally customizable. Add beans, spicy jalapenos, or keep them simple for little ones. Serve with salsa, sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping, and you’ve got a fuss-free dinner that’s full of flavor and ready in a flash!

The Cowboys’ Rating: 9/10

Every time I make a new recipe, I have my family rate the recipe out of 10. By the time, these recipes make the blog, they’ve been tried and tested by some of my hardest tiny critics!

What Ingredients Are in Taco Sticks?

• Ground Beef – As always, we use our own homegrown ground beef that is grass-finished and regeneratively raised. It’s delicious, lean and so good. Our ground beef is 90/10 and I never have to drain off a bunch of fat.
• Minced Garlic – My go-to ingredient for great flavor!
• Onion Powder – A dash of onion powder adds a savory depth of flavor that brings everything together, just without the chopping.
• Taco Seasoning – You can use a regular taco seasoning packet or try my homemade taco seasoning. It is our family’s favorite taco seasoning. It’s not too overpowering and is packed full of flavor.
• Salsa – I like to some salsa to my ground beef to make it even yummier and more moist.
• Mexican Cheese Blend – Mexican cheese has the best cheese blend for a great flavored taco. So, I like to use the Mexican blend for this taco biscuit bomb recipe.
• Salt
• Pepper
• Refrigerated Pizza Crust – Using pizza crust makes taco sticks extra soft and chewy, with that perfect golden finish everyone loves. It’s also easy to work with and stretches for stuffing.

How to Store Taco Sticks

I store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can easily be microwaved, but for best results, I have found that popping them in the air fryer or back in the oven for a few minutes is better. This makes your taco sticks crisp and not soggy.
