Mix flour with salt, oil and water to form a smooth dough; cover and let rest for about 20 minutes.

Knead the rested dough again on a floured surface, divide into eight pieces, roll each into a circle (≈25 cm diameter). Fry each side in a non‑sticky pan for about 1 minute until dark brown spots appear. When the dough swells, press it down with a spatula and set warm.

Wash the lime, grate its zest thinly, then squeeze out the juice. Wash the apple, remove core, dice finely and mix immediately with 2 tbsp lime juice. Peel and finely dice the onion.

Toast the chopped almonds in a dry pan until fragrant; remove and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté the onion until translucent, add garlic, then ground beef and cook until crumbly. Add drained chili strips, cumin, cinnamon, tomatoes, apples and raisins; season with salt and pepper and simmer gently for about 15 minutes, tasting as you go.

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, mix with 2 tbsp lemon juice and zest, mash well with a fork.
