For ages, my brother's family and I have gotten together on Christmas Eve, and always eat snacks while we open our presents. This Tex-Mex spin on classic appetizer pizza is one we have again and again. —Laurie Pester, Colstrip, Montana

Ingredients

2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1-1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 package (1 pound) sliced bacon, diced
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups guacamole
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained

Directions

Unroll both tubes of crescent dough and pat into an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan; seal seams and perforations. Build up edges. Prick dough with a fork; sprinkle with taco seasoning. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and guacamole until smooth.
Spread cream cheese mixture over crust. Sprinkle with bacon, tomatoes and olives. Refrigerate until serving. Cut into squares.

Loved it! Added some chopped green onions. Next time will try to add some Mexican blend shredded cheese and maybe some chopped cilantro. Was delicious just as it's written.

Very delicious. I made them several times. I can no longer eat gluten so I am sad I can not make them any more. I will have to experiment with some gluten free crescent recipes. They are rich so don't cut the pieces too large.

This was good, but I'll add some additional spices next time as the taste was a bit blah.

Like the guacamole cream cheese mixture. Made my own guacamole. Would add chopped onions on top next time. Sprinkled fresh calantro on top for color. Everyone enjoyed.

This was a VERY easy and very tasty appetizer. Truly a hit and we've made it several times.
