Add chuck, ground chiles, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring to break beef apart, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, vinegar, raisins, and olives and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400u00b0. On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to 1/8 in. thick. With a 3 1/2-in. cutter, cut as many rounds as possible, rerolling and cutting remaining dough. Spoon a scant tbsp. filling onto each round, fold dough over filling to make a half-moon, then seal and mark edges with the tines of a fork. Beat egg with 1 tbsp. water and brush over pastry tops.
