I love party food!  And fiesta pull-apart bread is one of my favorite things to take to a get-together, whether it’s a tailgate party, church potluck, or family get-together.

What? You don’t know what pull-apart bread is?  Well, if you’ve ever had monkey bread, then you know what “pull-apart” bread is.  Basically, you chop up biscuit dough into smaller pieces, coat it with seasonings, and bake it.  It puffs up into a solid form, but once you take it out of the pan, you can easily pull it apart to eat.  It’s easy to make and everyone loves it.

So, here is how to make fiesta pull-apart bread!

2 cans of refrigerated biscuits.

Sliced black olives.

2 cups Colby & Monterey Jack cheese
