Calories: 401kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package Puff pastry 2 sheets, Thawed
- 1-1.5 cups Mexican ground beef taco meat Leftovers work great
- 1 cup Shredded cheese Mexican blend
Instructions
- Unroll the two puff pastry sheets and cut out 9 square pieces (Dimensions: 3×3) for each sheet.
- Add a spoonful of cooked ground beef on top of 9 squares.
- Sprinkle some cheese on top.
- Place another square piece of puff pastry on top of the cheese and press the edges until the two pieces stick together.
- Optional step: Sprinkle some cheese on top of each puff.
- Place these puffs on a baking tray and bake at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and firm along the edges. Enjoy!
Notes
- Please note that there should be 18 (3x3inch) squares in total. This means 9 squares per sheet of pastry puff. There should be 2 sheets.
- Don't over-bake because that will cause them to become dry and tops will become very brown and non-appetizing.
- Try another meat filling. Just make sure it's cooked beforehand and thick.
- Don’t over-fill or else the filling can leak out during baking.
- Make sure edges are secured tightly to ensure they don't open and unravel during baking. Brush with some water, if necessary.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days but they won’t be as crispy any more.
