Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Cook beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat; drain and discard any grease; add in onions and green chiles. Cook until the meat is browned. Stir in salsa, taco seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste.
Lay out 1 pie crust onto a flat surface; cut off rounded edges, creating a rectangle; cut into 6 rectangles.
Spoon 3 - 4 T. taco meat into the center of the rectangle. Slice the cheese stick in half and then in half again, creating 12 pieces.
Place 1 cheese piece on top of the taco meat; place the opposite rectangle on top. It may have to be stretched slightly before putting it on. Press edges down; trim any excess dough, if needed; crimp around the edges with a fork. Poke 9 holes in each pop tart.
Place pop tarts onto prepared pan. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Serve with desired toppings, if desired.
Makes 12 pop tarts.
