Ingredients:
| Ingredient |

| Refrigerated crescent roll dough |
1 / tube |
| Ground beef |
1 / pound |
| Taco seasoning |
1 / packet |
| Provolone cheese |
8 / slices |
Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet or a rimmed jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Lightly coat the foil surface with cooking spray or a thin film of oil to ensure your delicate pastry releases cleanly after baking.
Step 2: Brown and Season the Beef: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 pound of ground beef and cook until it is completely browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into fine crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula. Drain off any excess grease from the pan, then stir in the 1 packet of taco seasoning alongside the amount of water specified by your packet’s instructions. Simmer until the liquid absorbs and the meat is fully coated.
Step 3: Roll Out the Flatbread Base: Pop open the 1 tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll it directly onto your prepared, oiled baking sheet. Use your fingers to firmly pinch all the perforated triangular seams together to create one solid, large rectangular sheet of dough. Gently stretch the edges if needed to ensure it sits in a completely uniform layer.
Step 4: Layer the Toppings: Spread your warm, seasoned taco beef evenly over the top of the crescent rectangle, leaving a small, clean border around the outermost edges to form a crust. Lay the 8 slices of provolone cheese across the meat layer so the surface is fully covered.
Step 5: Bake and Melt: Slide the pan into your preheated oven and bake for 12 / to 15 / minutes. You will know it is complete when the outer crescent crust turns a beautiful, deep golden-brown and the provolone cheese on top is completely melted, bubbly, and spotted with brown patches.
Step 6: Slice and Serve: Remove the flatbread from the oven and let it rest undisturbed on the counter for 2 / to 3 / minutes so the cheese sets slightly. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the flatbread into square portions or long strips, and serve warm.
