Preparation Steps
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef for about 5-6 minutes until fully cooked. Sprinkle in taco seasoning, stirring in optional shredded carrots and chopped bell peppers or baby spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender, then remove from heat to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pie crusts until they are about 1/8-inch thick. Use ghost-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
- Place half of the ghost shapes on the prepared baking sheets. Add a generous spoonful of taco filling and sprinkle with shredded Mexican cheese.
- Cut small holes in the remaining ghost shapes to create faces. Place these on top of the filled shapes and seal the edges with a fork.
- Whisk together the egg with a splash of milk. Brush the tops of each pie with this mixture.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
- Let the pies cool for a few minutes and serve warm with salsa and guacamole.

Notes
Customize your fillings and consider making a variety for everyone’s tastes. Leftover pies can be reheated in an air fryer for added crispiness.
