How to Make Bite Size Taco Turnovers
- Brown 1 lb of ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 cup taco sauce, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
- Set the taco meat aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Unroll the 13.8-ounce package of refrigerated pizza dough and roll it out into a 14x10 1/2 inch rectangle.
- Cut the dough into twelve 3 1/2-inch squares.
- Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the taco filling onto the center of each dough square.
- Sprinkle each square generously with shredded cheese.
- Lightly brush the edges of each dough square with water.
- Fold each square in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
- Arrange the turnovers on a greased baking sheet.
- Prick each turnover a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of water.
- Brush the egg wash over the turnovers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the turnovers stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
