- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Add taco seasoning and water, then simmer until the mixture thickens. Let it cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough into a large rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
