• 1 medium green pepper
• 1 cup salsa
• 3 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives
• sour cream for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In medium skillet, cook and stir beef over medium high heat until browned. Remove from heat; pour off drippings. Stir in seasoning mix, cheese and water; set aside. Unroll crescent dough; separate into triangles. Arrange triangles in circle on greased 14 inch pizza pan with wide ends overlapping in center and point toward outside. (There should be 5 inch diameter opening in the center.) Scoop meat mixture evenly onto widest end of each triangle. Bring outside points of triangles down over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center. (Filling will no be completely covered.)

Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut top off pepper using a V-shaped zig-zag pattern. Place pepper in center of ring; fill with salsa. Mound lettuce, tomato, onion and olives on top of ring surrounding pepper. Cut ring; serve garnished with sour cream.
