  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
  • 5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush the butter mixture over the top of each taco stick.

7. Bake:

Place the taco sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
