Steps

1. In a frying pan combine hamburger and an equal amount of finely chopped onions. Add cumin, pepper, oregano, and salt. Fry until onion is translucent and hamburger is done. Add chili powder and stir. Peel hard boiled eggs and slice in large pieces. Soak raisins in hot water for a few minutes. Slice each olive in 2 - 3 pieces. (Black olives can be used.)
2. For the dough, combine in a large bowl the flour, shortening, eggs, salt, baking powder and vinegar and start working in 1-1/2 cups milk. Knead into a soft dough, adding more flour as needed. Form into a tube shape and cut the tube into 3 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time, form into 6 equal balls, 18 total balls. With a rolling pin shape each ball into an 8-9 inch circle of dough, stacking them as they are finished and sprinkling with flour in between each one. Work with only 6 at a time. Take a circle and put 1/18 of the meat filling in and 1/18th of the olives, eggs, and drained raisins. Fold it over and slightly wet the edge and pinch shut like you would a pie. Repeat 17 more times. Bake on greased cookie sheets at 350F for 35-40 minutes.
