Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cooked pinto beans, mashed
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to become fragrant.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the mashed pinto beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro until well combined.
5. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into 4 equal sized rectangles.
6. Place a spoonful of the beef and bean mixture onto one half of each rectangle. Fold the other half over the filling, forming a triangle shape. Use a fork to press the edges together and seal the shaloupia.
7. Brush the tops of the shaloupia with the beaten egg to give them a nice golden color during baking. Transfer the shaloupia to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the shaloupia are golden brown and crisp.
9. Serve the Bean and Beef Shaloupia warm with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
10. Enjoy!
