Taco Hand Pies

Savory little hand pies filled with all the flavors of a taco! These taco hand pies are a perfect snack or meal for both kids and adults. They are easy to make and great for parties or family dinners.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions:

Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C

Put the ground beef in a pan and cook it over medium-low heat until it turns brown

Get rid of any extra fat

Dice the onions and bell peppers and add them to the pan with the cooked beef

Let them cook for a while until they get soft

Add the taco seasoning mix and season the beef mixture according to the directions on the package

Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down a bit

Take the pie crusts out of the fridge and use a round cutter to make circles that are about 4 inches across

Put some of the taco meat mixture on one half of each circle of pie crust

Diced tomatoes, black olives, and cheddar cheese should be put on top of the meat mixture

As you fill the pie, fold the other half of the crust over it to make a half-moon shape

To seal, press the edges together

To make an egg wash, beat the egg in a small bowl

Use the egg wash to give the tops of the hand pies a golden look

Put the hand pies on a baking sheet that has parchment paper on it

The hand pies should be baked in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy

Take them out of the oven and let them cool down a bit before you serve them

Have fun with your tasty taco hand pies!
