1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 pkg refrigerated crescent rolls
1 cup shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brown ground beef and drain fat. Add taco seasoning and water and simmer over low heat until sauce thickens. Add black beans. Separate crescent roll triangles. Arrange evenly in a circle on a baking sheet or baking stone with short side of the triangle facing the center and slightly overlap each triangle. Spoon taco mixture over the dough, one inch from the short end and leave the pointed end uncovered. Cover the taco mixture with shredded cheese. Wrap the pointed dough ends towards the center. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until crescent rolls are light brown.
