Dice the onions and red pepper into small cubes.
Soften the onions and pepper in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook for 7 minutes, until crumbly.
Add the cumin, paprika, oregano, olives, raisins, salt, and black pepper.
Cool the filling for 25 minutes so the hot filling does not loosen the dough.
Place filling on the dough discs, close into half-moons, and press the edges.
Brush with egg and bake the pastries in a 200°C oven for 20 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: If the filling is sealed while hot, the dough softens and the edges may open in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with chimichurri, tomato salad, and lime wedges if desired.
