Gorditas

Prepare the filling or base for the gorditas from the ingredients: corn masa or harina, pinto beans, cheese, ground beef.

Add spices, salt, and aromatic ingredients; mix until a uniform mass is achieved.

Shape the portions into flatbreads, balls, or rolls according to the form of this dish.

Heat oil or a dry skillet if the dish is traditionally prepared without deep frying.

Fry in portions until golden brown and cooked through on the inside.

Place on a paper towel or serve immediately with sauce and fresh toppings.
