Steps:
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef and then drain excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- While the meat is simmering, unroll the dough onto a sheet pan and press any perforations together so it's one continuous sheet of dough.
- Add the meat in a strip down the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches on each side.
- Top with cheese.
- Cut the dough in 1" wide strips down both sides as shown above, using a pizza cutter.
- Lift one end up and fold it over the filling and then grab the strips from the sides one at a time and cross them over the filling in a braid-like pattern. Tuck any excess dough underneath, or use it to fill any empty looking spots.
- Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with more cheese if desired. Top with your favorite taco toppings and serve with sour cream and salsa!

Steps:
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until brown. Pour in the water and homemade taco seasoning and mix until well incorporated. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the piece of parchment to your work surface and using a rolling pin, roll out the pizza dough so that it measures 10 x 15-inches. With a knife or pizza cutter, make slices 1½ inches thick and 3 inches long down both long sides of the dough.
- Leaving about an inch at the top and bottom, place the ground beef down the center of the dough. Cover the beef with 3/4 cup of the cheese, and then add the diced tomato.
- Beginning at one end of the braid, fold the end up and wrap the first two slices over to secure it. Repeat the wrapping with opposite slices just until the last two. Fold the end up and wrap the last two slices over it to secure.
- Gently brush the top and sides with the melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese on top.
- Transfer the braid on the parchment to the rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving. Cover with chopped Romaine lettuce, additional tomato and cheese, if desired. Serve with sour cream and taco sauce.
