Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up. Brown for 5-7 minutes until cooked through.

Drain excess fat from the skillet.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and cut into 10 strips.

Place filling in the center of each strip, top with cheese, fold dough, and pinch edges to seal.

Brush tops with melted butter and optionally sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
