Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 package refrigerated crescent dough rolls

1 egg (for egg wash)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream and salsa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until they're softened and fragrant.

      Add the Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

        Season the Mixture: Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn. Mix well and allow it to cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

          Prepare Crescent Dough: While the chicken mixture cools, unroll the crescent dough. Lay the triangles on a round pizza stone or baking sheet, overlapping the wider ends to create a star shape.

            Fill the Dough: Spoon the chicken mixture onto the wider ends of the crescent dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

              Wrap the Bites: Gently fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling, tucking them under the dough at the base to secure. You can pinch the seams together for a more polished look.

                Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the egg wash over the dough to give it a nice golden color when baking.

                  Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed up.

                    Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping. Enjoy your mini taco ring bites warm!
