Ingredients

¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Fold and seal: Fold the other half of the dough over the meat and cheese. Press the edges to seal.
Cut and twist: Cut the stuffed dough into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip gently and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with salsa and sour cream for dipping.
