Taco time! If you love tacos but are getting tired of the same old flour tortilla, give this recipe for Flat Bread Taco Supreme a try. For a time-saver, it utilizes canned biscuit dough that is dry cooked in a pan until browned. If making dough from scratch is your thing, by all means, feel free to Google a recipe, but dough is one thing I don’t have much patience for, not to mention my oven is possessed by the devil, so I either buy my bread products or buy raw/frozen dough.
I saw the original recipe for Flat Bread Tacos over at Your Homebased Mom a while back and knew I had to try it out. I had a half-sized can of biscuits sitting in my fridge with no way to use them and this was the perfect solution. Since this is cooked in a pan with no oil, it is a great balance between freshly cooked and crispy, and a bit soft and chewy in spots.
Using her technique of cooking the biscuit dough in a dry pan, I changed the filling based on my preferences. You can see what she choose for her fillings here.

1tube of Grands canned biscuitsI happened to use a Southern style, which was good but I'd prefer regular as Southern style had bits of butter flavoring in it
Toppings:
tomatoesdiced
sour cream
shredded cheese
black olives
chopped romaine lettuce mix
Refried beans
Instructions
Cook the ground beef until browned. Rinse the meat if you'd like to make it more lean. Transfer back to the pot. Add taco seasoning and about 3/4 cup of water. Simmer for a few minutes and remove from heat. Set aside.
Prepare the biscuit dough: Separate pieces of biscuit dough from the can. Flatten them using your hand or a rolling pin and stretch them out as much as possible without ripping the dough. Heat a dry non stick saute pan over medium high, then add 2-3 pieces of the dough. Cook on each side until lightly browned and cooked though, about 1-2 minutes on each side. If the dough is getting browned too quickly, the heat is too high.
Layer your toppings. From top to bottom I went: refried beans, taco meat (the beans hold the meat in place so it doesn't spill all over), cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and olives.
