Lightly spray contrary with nonstick cooking spray. Roll the combined rolls or loaf into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Covering with plastic wrap also let rest. Brown the ground beef, onion and taco seasonings together and drain. Set aside to cool slightly. Tomatoes, cheese and olives stir into meat mixture. Remove the wrapper from the dough. Spoon the mixture lengthwise in a 4-inch strip along the center of the dough. Make cuts 1 1/2 inches apart along sides of dough in 1/2 inch filling. Begin braid by folding the top & bottom strips towards filling. Then braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling the last strip over and tucking under the braid.
