What is this Mexican dish?
Answer Gorditas
Gorditas, meaning "little fat ones" in Spanish, are a type of thick, round, stuffed tortilla originating from Mexico. The dough for gorditas is made from masa harina (corn dough) mixed with water and sometimes lard, then shaped into thick discs that are cooked on a griddle or comal until they puff up and develop a golden crust. Once cooked, gorditas are split open and filled with a variety of ingredients such as seasoned meats (like picadillo or carnitas), refried beans, cheese, lettuce, salsa, and sour cream. They can be served as a snack, street food, or a main dish, offering a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
