Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the grated carrot and frozen peas to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Drain the canned tuna and add it to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Mix well with the vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir everything together and set aside to cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares for a total of 8 squares.
Place a spoonful of the tuna mixture in the center of each square, being careful not to overfill.
Fold each puff pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, and use a fork to crimp the edges and seal them tightly.
Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the tuna vegetable puffs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
