Cover dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare filling by sautéing onion and garlic until translucent.

Stir in cheese, cumin, pepper, cilantro, and lime juice; mix well.

Roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into circles.

Place filling in the center of each circle.

Fold dough over filling and press edges to seal tightly.
