For the dough: beat the flour, vegetable shortening, butter, cold water, and salt in a mixing bowl with a hook attachment until everything is combined and a smooth, homogeneous dough is obtained. Place the dough for pastes in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. For the bean and chorizo filling: heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, cuaresmeño pepper, and chorizo for 5 minutes or until the chorizo is browned. Then, add the beans and cook for 3 more minutes. Let it cool and set aside. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin on a floured flat surface, cut circles of 15 cm, fill with beans and chorizo, and seal the paste by pressing with your fingers. Place the pastes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with egg, and bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes. Set aside. Serve the bean and chorizo pastes and accompany with rajas.
