In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it apart. Drain excess fat, stir in taco seasoning until fully combined, then let cool to room temperature.

Unroll the pizza dough onto a flat surface. Cut lengthwise in half, then make four vertical cuts to create ten rectangles.

Arrange the sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with preferred taco condiments.
# Notes & Tips:

Allow the seasoned beef to cool fully before assembling to prevent soggy dough. Seal seams tightly to avoid filling leakage during baking.
