Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and mix in taco seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Roll out pizza dough until flat and thin, about ¼ inch thick. Cut into rectangles, approximately 3 inches by 5 inches.
  3. Place a spoonful of seasoned meat in the center of each rectangle, top with half a cheese stick, and roll up tightly.
  4. Melt butter and mix with garlic powder and parsley. Brush the mixture on the tops of the rolled sticks.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sticks on it. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving warm with salsa and sour cream, sprinkled with diced jalapeños if desired.
