Momma got this recipe and the one for Breakfast Eyeball at Boxtops 4 education. That little red square you find on top of everything. Even if you dont have kids or yours are all growed up. cut that little square off and when you get a bunch of them give them to a near bye grade school. Our school raised $1,000 from them last year. Yeah $1,000 one Dime at a time. The recipes state how many boxtops you can get per recipe.

I'll have to look for the red square... I'm all for helping out those who need it when I can. The kids are all grown up and the grand kids are growing like weeds and all live in Texas so we don't get to spoil them enough.

What a great idea, rolling out the biscuits to make the taco shell.

You can take this idea and go anywhere with it. Pulled pork and BBQ sauce would be great. Italian cold cuts with some cheese. Breakfast sausage, how about pizza?

I'm making this tonight (my wife likes it when I cook). When you fold them over and press to seal does it open back up in the oven or do you pry them apart to add the greenery?

Thanks

Some open on their own and most you have to gently pry open.

Darn good looking eats!!  Those sorta look like puffy tacos only flour and not corn.  Ate a bunch of puffy tacos on my last trip including the place that had the puffy taco throwdown with Bobby Flay

I don't care what they call them but the Pillsbury Grands biscuits  are awesome like this. But I could founder on them things anyway

I cooked taco melts last night and they were quite good. I liked the sweetness from the biscuits.

I made the taco melts last night also. Only problem I had was, I tried to put too much filling in and had trouble sealing them because of that. I use hot taco seasoning and hot salsa. Man were those good eats. I could only eat two, but they were over stuffed. I made a little salad on the side with shredded lettuce, diced maters, diced onion and topped with taco cheese and salsa. Thanks for the great idea. And it could not be any easier. Just what I like, tasty and easy.  ;D

I seen Grands, buttermilk, original, southern style and flaky. Not sure what 'southern style' meant. I did not see any cornbread. I used the original when I made these.

I had to have a big debate in my head,  but I just got done with a big deadline at work and I was tired.

I'm going to make CRG's cheese biscuits tonight but I'm not going to use bisquick if that helps :D
