1. Boil corn until soft and hulls begin to come off. Drain and grind finely. Boil potatoes, grind and mix with corn. Work in shortening to form a dough.
2. Cut meat into 1 inch squares. Have ready the bacon, olives and chick-peas. Divide dough into 6 portions. Roll out and fill each with the ingredients, portioning them equally. Wrap filled dough in waxed paper. (Nicaraguans use banana leaf). Secure well and cook 1 1/2 hours in boiling water.
