I had some left over Gluten-free pizza dough from Saturday's pizza indulgence! So I decided to turn it into a quick weeknight dinner! This totally scrumptious Mexican hand pie is so easy and will have you going back for seconds! I would not count on left overs here….and if you do have one left over... heat it up for breakfast (I did!)! This recipe is Keto Friendly & full of healthy foods! You can add more veggies or less veggies but it is perfectly delicious all on it's own! Either way, it was quick, easy and when I say 20 minutes... I mean 20 minutes start to finish! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Alright! Let's get cookin' and spend some thyme together ya'll! Per the usual I included the basic ingredients you need for this recipe, the ingredients I used, and directions to follow along. If you modified something, then skip that step or replace the step with your own ingredient!
