Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil it.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add minced onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Stir until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in tomato paste, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Cook 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Spread 2–3 tbsp meat mixture onto each bread round, leaving a half-inch border. Place on sheet pan.
