    • 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • Cheese

    • 🧀 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
    • 🧀 4 ounces crumbled cotija cheese

  • Meat

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

  • Beans and Vegetables

    • 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 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
    • 🥑 1 avocado, sliced (Optional)
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste (Optional)

  • Seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix

STEPS

1

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

2

Cut a 13x18-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.

3

Lightly flour a rolling pin; roll over the overlapping dough edges and over the perforations to create one 12x17-inch seamless piece of dough. Carefully lift the parchment paper with dough and fit into a 13x18-inch metal sheet pan.

4

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.

5

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

6

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

7

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.
