  • For the dough: On a table, place dry ingredients. Add vegetable shortening and butter. Using a fork, knead the dough until crumbly. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • For the stuffing: In a skillet with hot oil, fry onion, leek, and chiles. Add potatoes and ground beef and cook for 10 minutes. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper. Let cool and set aside.
  • On a flat surface, roll out the dough and cut into 3.9-inch discs. Stuff dough discs with ground beef mixture and fold in half so both edges meet. Crimp the edges together to seal tightly.
  • Arrange on a baking sheet, brush with egg, and bake for 25 minutes at 356 °F.
  • Serve Mexican pasties with pickled chiles.
