2 teaspoon olive oil
2 cured chorizo sausages 200g, halved, sliced thinly (can be Mexican chorizo or Spanish chorizo)
3 chili - diced not hot ones
1 bunch cilantro
1 kaffir lime regular lemon or lime juice ok
14 oz can of beans rinsed, drained (can be pinto beans, black bean, we used a four bean mix)
¼ pound packet fillo pastry phyllo pastry - 18 sheets
3 oz 60 g butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt and pepper for seasoning
1 potato par boiled

Prepare your vegetables
: Peel and par boil 1 potato and set aside to cool. Dice 1 tomato and remove the seeds - as they will make the mix too wet. If you have a kaffir lime leaf - devein and thinly slice - this does give a great flavor. Zest the lime or lemon. Finely diced the chili. Grate some cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Meat: First carefully slice the sausage in half. Then slice the chorizo sausage into about 1/4 inch slices
Mix: Place all these in a large bowl and squeeze in the lemon or lime juice. Gently mix with your hands to evenly distribute the cheese and other ingredients.
Filo: Keep the filo in the fridge until you want to use it. Open the packet and lay it out flat and cover with a slightly damp tea towel. Take one sheet and lay it flat and take your melted butter and with a brush paint the sheet. Then repeat this for two more sheets - and then put on your filling - about 3 tablespoons and gently roll up and seal with butter - see out video on exactly how to roll the filo pastry sheet. Our video also covers how to fold in a triangular way - and for that, you only need two filo pastry sheets.
Egg Wash: beat one egg with a fork till well mixed and with your brush generously put the egg wash on top of the phyllo parcels. Top with pumpkin and fennel seeds.
Baking: Set your oven to 320F or 106C and bake for 20 minutes (check after 15 minutes the pie crust is not ready) You can then serve your chorizo puff!.

These can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated.
