Cook the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned. Stir in the diced bell pepper, sliced olives, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Pastels
Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
