Taco pizza with price breakdown

Taco pizza thing
(best name i could come up with im tired and full)
This looks like alot of stuff but it made a decent amount of food, and very filling, i'll do a price breakdown of what it cost me.

2 crescent roll tubes $2

1 1/2 ground beef $3
1 packet of taco seasoning (i used 3 tsp of a homemade mix) freebie
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese .75c (got a pack of shredded for $2 and only used about 1/3 of it)
Shredded lettuce .30 ($1 a head only used a lil bit)
1 or 2 diced tomatoes depending on size .25 (they were .92 cents a lb and only used 2 small ones)
1/2 small can Olives (sliced) .75 (other half is reserved probably for snacks for my kids:)
1/2 diced onion .45 (these were .69 a lb and were kinda big onions, like each one was damn near a lb)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro .20 (3 bunches for $1 only use a small amount of one bunch)
1-2 jalapeno sliced (i used one since it was a monster of a jalapeno) .10 (1 lb for $1, takes a fair amount to make a lb)
1 avocado diced .58 @ .58 cents each avocado
$11 total (but again this would easily feed 6 ppl and to me 11$ for 6 ppl is pretty damn good)


Directions
1. Separate the crescent pastry and lay out in a circle, pointed ends out on a foil lined pizza pan, sprayed very lightly with cooking spray. Use some of the leftover crescent rolls to to make the center a bit thicker as this will hold the meat.
2. Brown meat in a frying pan until no longer pink. Drain fat and add taco seasoning as directed on package, reducing the water to a scant 1/3 cup from the 1/2 cup called for. Drain excess liquid from meat.
3. Sprinkle meat mixture in a circle inside the crescent rolls, then sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over the meat. Pull crescent roll points over meat and cheese and tuck in.

Bake at 350 degrees until pastry is golden brown (30 min).

4. Add remaining 1/2 cup of cheese, chopped lettuce, tomato, black olives, onions, cilantro and jalapenos (if using), into the middle of the ring, then add a few dollops of sour cream if desired, before serving.

this is a 12 inch pizza pan btw
