Ingredients

• 2- 8 oz tubes refrigerated seamless crescent dough sheet
• 1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning, divided
• 20 pretzel sticks, broken in half
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup guacamole
• 2 medium sweet yellow peppers
• 1 medium sweet red pepper
• 1 medium green pepper
• Chopped fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Using an ungreased baking sheet, unroll one tube of crescent dough and press into a 13×8 inch rectangle. Prick with a fork; sprinkle with 3/4 tsp taco seasoning. Repeat with remaining crescent dough and taco seasoning.

2. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Cut each rectangle crosswise to make four strips. 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 tree.

4. Beat cream cheese and guacamole until smooth; spread over trees. Halve and seed peppers. Cut 40 stars from yellow peppers using a 3/4-inch star-shaped cookie cutter. Dice and julienne remaining peppers to use as tree decorations. Decorate trees with pepper pieces and cilantro. Refrigerate until serving.
