Beef Taco Foldovers

Pillsbury describes this recipe as "Mexico meets Italy". Try it out and see if you agree.

Beef Taco Foldovers

Ingredients:
1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup black beans, drained (from 15 oz can)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix (from 1 oz package)
1 can Pillsbury Grands flaky layers refrigerated original biscuits
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz)
5 tablespoons salsa
5 tablespoons sour cream
Sliced green onions, if desired
Lettuce, if desired

Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In 10 inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat until beef is brown; drain. Stir in beans, tomato sauce and seasoning mix. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed. Separate dough into 5 biscuits. Press or roll each to form 5 inch round. Spoon 1/2 cup meat mixture onto center of each flattened biscuit. Sprinkle cheese evenly onto biscuits. Fold half of biscuit over filling; press edges with fork to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Top with salsa, sour cream, and green onions. Garnish with lettuce.
