# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Prepare a large baking sheet by lightly coating with non-stick spray.
02 -
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up until fully browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat. Return beef to the skillet.
03 -
Add the taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef. Stir until well coated and seasoning is evenly distributed. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface. Cut the dough in half lengthwise, then slice into 10 equal rectangles.
05 -
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of seasoned beef onto the center of each dough rectangle. Top with a halved cheese stick. Roll dough around filling and pinch seams to seal completely.
06 -
In a bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of each taco stick.

Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot with desired taco toppings.

Allow beef filling to cool prior to assembling to prevent the dough from becoming soggy or difficult to seal.
