   Stir and cook for about 2 minutes until it starts to brown.
2. After that, add the meat chorizo and bacon.
   Sauté a bit.

   Mix well until the flour is fully incorporated and remove from heat.

   Brush the roll with the beaten egg.
5. Cut the roll into thick slices and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
   Repeat the process until all ingredients are used up.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ºC (356 ºF) for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry turns golden.
