1. 1 pound ground beef
2. 1 packet taco seasoning mix
3. 1/4 cup water
4. 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
5. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6. 1/2 cup chopped green onions
7. 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
8. 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Place parchment paper on a baking pan and set it aside.
2. Cook the ground beef in a pan over medium heat until it gets a browned appearance. Please remove any extra fat.
3. Take the steak and add the taco seasoning mix along with some water. Stir to blend, then continue cooking for another two to three minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
4. The crescent roll dough should be unrolled and placed on a level surface. In order to create a single sheet of dough, press the seams together carefully.
   A little border should be left around the sides of the dough, and the taco meat mixture should be spread equally over the dough.
5. The beef mixture should be topped with the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and other toppings that are desired.
6. Beginning from one of the long ends, roll the dough into a log ensuring that it is securely rolled. Cut the timber into pinwheels the size of one inch.
7. Arrange the pinwheels in a single layer on the baking sheet that has been cleaned and prepped.
8. Bake the dough for twelve to fifteen minutes, or until it has a golden brown colour and the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
9. After taking it out of the oven, let it to be somewhat cooled before serving.

Here are some tips for making Savory Cheesy Taco Pinwheels:

1. Use high-quality tortillas: Choose large, pliable tortillas that can hold the filling without cracking.
2. Don’t overfill: Leave a small border around the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t ooze out during rolling.
3. Mix and match fillings: Experiment with different taco ingredients, such as seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, or refried beans, to create unique flavor combinations.
4. Add some heat: Incorporate diced jalapeños or serrano peppers for an extra kick of spice.
5. Use a blend of cheeses: Combine shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Pepper Jack for a rich, creamy flavor.
6. Chill before rolling: Refrigerate the filled tortillas for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and make rolling easier.
7. Roll tightly: Apply even pressure to form a compact pinwheel that holds its shape.
8. Slice and serve: Cut into pinwheels just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
9. Experiment with dips: Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream to add an extra layer of flavor.
10. Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate or freeze the pinwheels for later use, perfect for meal prep or parties.
