Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; do not drain. Stir in hard-boiled eggs, olives and spices; heat through. Remove from the heat.

Brush beaten egg over edges of dough circles. Place 3 tablespoons filling on 1 side. Fold dough over filling. Crimp edges and press to seal. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with remaining beaten egg. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes; serve warm with salsa, if desired.
