Instructions: Cut your favorite pastry in rounds large enough to fit in mini muffin tins.

Press firmly into the tins and bake in a 350 degrees oven until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool while you are preparing the filling.

Filling:
1 pound sausage
1/2 envelope of your favorite taco seasoning mix 4 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 pound cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup sour cream
1 small jar chopped pimento
1 small can sliced black olives

Crumble sausage; add taco seasoning. Mix thoroughly; lightly brown.

Drain excess fat and add onions and continue browning until sausage is well cooked and onions are tender.

Remove sausage mixture from heat and add 1/2 of the grated cheese; mix well.

Fill pastry shells with sausage mixture.

Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top of hot mixture.

Top tarts with sour cream, sprinkle with pimento and an olive slice. May be served hot or at room temperature.
