These easy hand pies are filled with a delicious beef taco filling.

There’s also cheese, corn, and black beans. Each bite is full of flavor.

The Ingredients

Biscuits: I used Pillsbury buttermilk flaky layers biscuits. They’re only 4 points each.

I used a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit and used it as a dough.

Here is what I bought:

Ground Beef: To keep it lower in points I used 96% lean ground beef.

Cheese: I used reduced-fat Mexican cheese.

Taco Seasoning: You need 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning since we’re only using 1/2 lb. of ground beef.

Corn: This adds a nice little crunch to the taco hand pies.

Black Beans: I love using black beans in recipes because they are 0 points, high in fiber, and high in protein.

How to Make Taco Hand Pies

Brown and break up the ground beef. Drain any grease.

Add one tablespoon of taco seasoning and 1/3 cup of water. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook until thickened.

Stir in the corn and black beans then let the mixture cool slightly.

Place a biscuit on a clean work surface sprinkled with a little bit of flour. Use a rolling pin to flatten the biscuit.

Add a spoonful to the taco mixture and a pinch of Mexican cheese to one side of the flattened biscuit.

Fold over the biscuit and use a fork to seal the edges closed.

Whisk together 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush the top of the biscuits with the egg wash.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-14 minutes, until each pie is golden.

Serving Suggestions

I like to serve my Taco Hand Pies with fat free sour cream and taco sauce.

You could also serve it with avocado slices, guacamole, Mexican rice, or Pico de Gallo.
