Description
Crispy strands of buttery dough wrap around molten cheddar and zesty taco spices, finished with fresh cilantro. Dunk each golden spiral into tangy sour cream for a playful kick.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle.
- Brush the dough evenly with half of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the buttered dough, then distribute the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cut the dough into 12 strips and twist each strip gently into a spiral.
- Place the twisted sticks on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the remaining melted butter.
- Sprinkle garlic powder over the sticks and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve warm with sour cream for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the melted butter.
- Prepare and twist the sticks ahead of time, then refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Swap in pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese profile.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
