    Blend onion, garlic, and jalapeño in a food processor. Add ground beef and ground lamb and season with oregano, paprika, cumin, and salt. Mix, pushing down the sides to combine well.

    In a rectangular baking dish lined with parchment paper, press the beef mixture tightly to remove any air, ensuring it's about 4 centimeters thick. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes until fully cooked. Then let rest for at least 30 minutes.
