Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup chili (canned or homemade, preferably with beans)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, sour cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your crescent roll bites bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden color.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, carefully unroll the crescent roll dough. You’ll find perforated lines that separate it into triangles. Gently separate the triangles, laying them out flat.

      Make the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chili with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the cheese is evenly distributed.

        Assemble the Snacks: Take one triangle of dough and spoon approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chili and cheese mixture onto the wide end. Begin rolling from the wide end toward the tip of the triangle, gently tucking in the sides as you roll to seal in the filling. Repeat this process for each triangle.

          Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin layer of the egg wash over the top of each crescent roll. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown finish once baked.

            Bake: Arrange the filled crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for expansion. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the crescent roll bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve them warm alongside optional toppings like sliced jalapeños for spice, chopped green onions for freshness, and dollops of sour cream for added creaminess.
