Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup cooked taco meat (beef, chicken, or turkey)
- 1/4 cup diced green onions (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Marinara or salsa for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 10×12 inches.
- Add fillings: Sprinkle taco meat evenly over the dough, then top with cheese and green onions if using.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, chili powder, and paprika over the top.
- Cut and twist: Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into 1-inch strips. Twist each strip gently and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Brush melted butter over the breadsticks. Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve: Serve warm with marinara sauce or salsa for dipping.
Tips
- Cheese variation: Try pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor.
- Make it vegetarian: Swap taco meat with black beans or cooked veggies.
- Extra crispiness: Brush with garlic butter halfway through baking.
- Freezing: You can freeze unbaked twisted breadsticks and bake them later—add 3–4 extra minutes to the baking time.
