  • Blend the onion, garlic, chiles, oregano, cumin, orange juice, salt, pepper, and vinegar.
  • In a medium skillet, add the oil and cook the onion until it has a shiny tone, add the tomato, the meat, the sauce, and let it brown; add the beef broth, cover, and cook until the meat is tender. Cool and set aside.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 3 mm thick and using a 10 cm round cutter, cut out the disks.
  • Place two tablespoons of the meat right in the middle of each disk, leaving the edges free. With a brush, glaze the edges with the egg, close, and press the edges with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve with parsley sauce.
