Step-by-Step Instructions for Ghost Taco Hand Pies
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the ground beef or turkey for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Add taco seasoning and shredded carrot, bell pepper, or spinach, and stir until well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use ghost-shaped cookie cutters to stamp out shapes, ensuring you have pairs.
- Place half of the ghost-shaped cutouts on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Spoon taco mixture onto each, sprinkle with cheese, and top with matching cutouts, pressing edges to seal.
- Cut two tiny holes in the top layer of each pie to create 'eyes' for steam to escape.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash and bake for 10-14 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with salsa or guacamole for dipping.
