• 2 tsp taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until beef is browned and vegetables are softened. Add taco seasoning, corn, black beans, and salt and pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.
2. Assemble the Pies
