Total time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 20-30 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients for the tart dough:
- 300 g flour
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 1 teaspoon of vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 100 ml water (as needed)

Ingredients for the filling:
- 500 g lamb meat (the leg is ideal)
- 100 g chicken breast
- 200 g mixed Mexican vegetables (carrots, corn, peas)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- Ground pepper (to taste)
- Sweet paprika (for added flavor)
- Salt (to taste)

Preparation:

1. Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt, oil, and vinegar. Mix the dry ingredients well with the wet ones. Gradually add water and start kneading with your fingers until the dough becomes elastic and firm. Remember to add water gradually to avoid a too wet dough. Once you achieve the desired consistency, form a ball from the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

2. Preparing the filling:
Cut the lamb meat and chicken breast into cubes of about 1 cm. Season with salt, pepper, and sweet paprika, mixing well to infuse the flavors into the meat. In a pan, heat a splash of oil and fry the meat until nicely browned, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and let it cool in a bowl.

3. Combining the ingredients:
Once the meat has cooled, add the Mexican vegetables and beaten eggs, mixing well. Incorporate the finely chopped parsley for added freshness. Check the taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

4. Assembling the tart:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin sheet, slightly larger than the tart pan you are using. Grease the pan with a splash of oil and carefully place the dough in it, trimming the excess. Spread the filling evenly in the pan, then use the leftover dough to create decorative lattice on top of the filling.

5. Baking:
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes or until the dough turns golden and crispy. It is important to monitor the baking process, as each oven may vary.

6. Serving:
The Easter tart with lamb and chicken can be enjoyed both warm and cold. A great recommendation is to serve it alongside a fresh spring salad, with colorful vegetables and a light lemon dressing. This contrast of textures and flavors will enhance the culinary experience.

Useful tips:
- If you want to save time, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and keep it in the fridge.
- You can also add other seasonal vegetables to the filling, such as spinach or mushrooms, to diversify the flavors.
- The tart can be frozen, making it an excellent choice for a meal prepared in advance. Make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap and seal it in an airtight container.

Nutritional benefits:
This tart contains proteins from lamb and chicken, as well as a supply of vitamins from the included vegetables. Additionally, parsley adds a boost of antioxidants, and using whole wheat flour in the dough can provide extra benefits through its fiber content.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use turkey instead of chicken?
Yes, turkey is an excellent alternative and offers a distinct flavor.
- What is the best way to store leftover tart?
Keep the tart in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. It can be reheated in the oven to regain its crispiness.

Recommended recipes:
To complete the Easter meal, we suggest trying stuffed eggs with cheese and dill or a traditional sweet bread that adds a touch of sweetness and flavor. An ideal drink to accompany this tart is a light white wine or a natural citrus juice, which will add a note of freshness.
