Leftover Taco Meat?

Easy Taco Bake
Preparation time varies

When you have tacos for supper, do you end up with a little of each filling leftover?
This fast and delicious pizza-like main dish is a great way to use them up!

2 tubes, refrigerated crescent rolls
taco meat mixture (if not using leftovers, make according to "Lawry's" packet mix, or use my Taco Meat recipe)
*1, 15 oz. can refried beans, mixed with 1/2 tsp. cumin & 1tsp. corriander (optional)
5 oz each, shredded cheddar & mantery Jack cheese (or mexican blend)
Assorted chopped toppings such as, tomatoes, green onion, black olives, green chiles, shredded lettuce, fresh cilantro
Salsa or taco sauce
Sour cream (if desired)

Preheat oven to 350 .
Press crescent rolls dough into the bottom of a 10-inch by 15-inch jelly roll
pan to form a crust.
layer with the taco meat and bake until golden.
*Meanwhile: if using refried beans; place bean mixture in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until hot, stirring once halfway through (this should only take about three or four minutes total).
Spread beans evenly over meat layer.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and pop it back in the oven until the cheese is melted.
Immediately top it with chopped tomatoes, chopped green chiles, green onion, sliced black olives, & shredded lettuce.
Cut in squares & Serve with salsa and sour cream. YUMMY!
