Can I use a different meat?

You can change the protein to any number of options. Shredded beef or chicken makes great Taco Sticks. You can add in Tofu, or Sausage if you prefer.

Do I have to use Pizza Dough?

I found the pizza dough holds up better to the weight of the cheese and meat. However, I would imagine that a biscuit dough would work well or even a bread dough that has been rolled out thin.

How to make Easy Cheesy Taco Sticks:

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2. Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat on the stove, and cook until completely browned.

Step 3. Drain any excess grease and then add the taco seasoning to the meat. Simmer over low heat for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4. Lightly flour a work surface in your kitchen and roll the pizza crust out until it is about ¼ of an inch thick.

Step 5. Cut 8 evenly-sized rectangles out of the dough.

Step 6. Place a cheese stick piece in the center of each piece of dough.

Step 7. Then, place a bit of the meat filling on top of it.

Step 8. Carefully fold in the ends of each rectangle of dough, and then roll them into breadsticks over the filling.

Step 9. Place the taco sticks onto a parchment or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 10. Brush the taco sticks with the melted butter and sprinkle with the garlic powder and parsley flakes to taste.
