today i want to share one of mine and my husband’s favorite recipes!
portmanteau word (n.) a word derived by combining portions of two or more separate words
examples:
magalog = magazine + catalog
pixel = picture + element
fantabulous = fantastic + fabulous
tacolache = taco + kolache
wait – what is that last one again? tacolache??
hang on! before your head starts spinning let me explain what it is!
a tacolache (taco la cheee) is a combination taco & kolache. a spicy mexican hand-held masterpiece combined with a flaky, cheesy, warm breakfast item stuffed with meat.
stay with me now…
this is one of those meals i came up with when we were running dangerously low on food and grocery funds and i examined my pantry and fridge with a skeptical eye. after passing over the cans of veg-all (seriously what was i thinking?), tuna and diced potatoes, the packets of onion soup mix and leftover chicken parmesan this is the only thing i could come up with.
and by golly it was a winner! so here is how you make it!
to a pound of browned hamburger meat i added salt, pepper, ground coriander, a little garlic powder and taco seasoning and 3/4 cup of water. cook about 10 minutes over low and then let cool.
i roll out one can of crescents on a foil lined cookie sheet sprayed with pam. i pinch the seams together a little but i don’t get all neurotic about it.
i have used several things here but for these pictures i had some philly cream cheese cooking creme. and yall, these are good. spread it on a car bumper and dive in. i promise it will be delicious! spread about 1/4 cup of it on the crescent dough leaving about a 1″ border around the edge.
pour the taco meat over the cresent.
{this requires little culinary skill but good hand/eye coordination helps. or the dogs just get to have taco meat for dinner.}

top with shredded cheddar cheese and pull the sides of the crescent up and over the top of the meat.
you see here i could not get them to meet. let your neurotic side take a nap and just relax! fold and tuck the ends in.
bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, give or take. just until the outside gets browned and a little flaky. then eat it all before you get a chance to take a picture. {oops}
i serve it with baked beans and applesauce. this is not some groundbreaking discovery about what compliments what. its what i had and so we used it up. but it turned out pretty good nonetheless.
oh – and have your hubby do dishes. i mean, you slaved over this dish so you deserve a break right? 😉
This sounds sooooo yummy!!
I'm definitely going to have to try this, it looks delicious! I think my son would love it. Thanks for sharing!
Best,
Gloria
My best meals are the ones that are just thrown together! I'll have to try this one for my hubby!
I made this tonight and let me just say YUMMMM! Loved it! =D
