1 package puffed pastry, frozen
Sauté the beef in a skillet until well done, stirring frequently with a fork to keep the meat broken up. In a separate skillet, sauté the onion, bell pepper, and jalapenos until the onions are a golden brown.
Combine all the remaining ingredients for the filling and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Defrost the puffed pastry per directions on package, roll out to a thickness of 1/8" and cut into circles 7" in diameter. Spoon the filling onto one half of each leaving room to fold in half and seal. Press the edges with the tip of a fork and cut a 1" slash in the top. Glaze with egg.
Place on an ungreased baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking until the crust turns light brown. Brush the tops with egg glaze and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

I eliminated the glaze and used muffin pans to place the puffed pastry which got very soft by the time I was working with the dough. I still made a pocket for it, but the muffin tin helped it keep together.
