Ingredients
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated seamless crescent dough sheet1-1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning, divided20 pretzel sticks, broken in half4 ounces cream cheese, softened1 cup guacamole2 medium sweet yellow peppers1 medium sweet red pepper1 medium green pepperChopped fresh cilantro, optional
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°. On an ungreased baking sheet, unroll one tube of crescent dough and press into a 13x8-in. rectangle. Prick with a fork; sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon taco seasoning. Repeat with remaining dough and seasoning.
Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Cut each rectangle crosswise to make 4 strips (about 8x4-in.). For trees, cut each strip into 5 triangles, reserving scraps at each end for another use. For trunks, insert a pretzel piece into the base of each triangle.
Beat cream cheese and guacamole until smooth; spread over trees. Halve and seed peppers. Cut 40 stars from yellow peppers using a 3/4-in. star-shaped cookie cutter. Dice and julienne remaining peppers for tree decorations. Decorate trees with pepper pieces and, if desired, cilantro. Refrigerate until serving.
