Ingredients

2 cans of tuna, drained
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced black olives
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the tuna, onion, bell pepper, black olives, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Roll out one sheet of pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the crust.

Fold the circle in half to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining circles and filling.
