Place your hand pies on an uncovered baking sheet and store in the freezer or 2-3 hours or until set. Once hardened, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 4 months. To thaw, place your frozen pies on your counter overnight.
To reheat, place your cakes in the oven until heated through.
WHAT CAN I SERVE THESE TACO HAND PIES WITH?
These Taco Hand Pies pair very well with the following accompaniments:
taco patties
- Preheat your oven to 400. Brown the meat and add the taco seasoning and ⅔ cup water (per package directions) and bring to a simmer.
- Add your cheese and stir well. Fold in your corn and black beans.
- Using a 4-inch-diameter cookie cutter, cut circles in the pie crust and place a heaping tablespoon of meat in the center of half of the circular pieces.
- Beat the egg and then brush the edges of the circles with meat on them with egg. Then top with the remaining pie crust circles. Then, using a fork or crusty sandwich maker, notch around the edges so the filling doesn’t escape.
- Then brush a beaten egg over the top of the taco hand cake. Place them on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
