In a blender, combine the chili, onion, tomato, tomato paste, hot sauce, garlic, 2 tbsp oil, salt, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Blend into a smooth paste. In a pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the chopped meat until browned. Add the blended spice mixture and cook until the meat is well coated and cooked through. Stir in chopped parsley.

Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a 10 cm round. Spread a portion of the filling over the dough rounds. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and onions. Cook in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 12–15 minutes or until the dough is golden and slightly crispy.
