Bite-Size Taco Turnovers
1/2 pound ground beef
1/4 cup taco sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 10-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
1/4 cup shredded American cheese or cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
For filling, cook ground beef in a small skillet until brown. Drain
off fat. Stir in taco sauce, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic
powder. Set aside. Unroll pizza dough. Roll dough into a
14x10-1/2-inch rectangle. Cut into twelve 3-1/2-inch squares. Divide
filling among dough squares. Sprinkle with cheese. Brush edges with
water. Lift one corner of each square and stretch dough to the
opposite corner, making a triangle. Press edges well with a fork to
seal.
Arrange on a greased baking sheet. Prick with fork. Combine egg and
the 1 teaspoon water; brush onto turnovers. Bake in a 425 F oven for
8 to 10 minutes or until golden. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
