Описание

Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Gorditas are thick tortillas from Mexico, made from masa corn flour and stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as meat, cheese, beans, nopal cactus, and salsa or guacamole. Due to their thickness, they can withstand some ingredients that a regular tortilla can't, such as thick stews. Even their name, gordita , means little fat one in Spanish, referring to their thickness, a word that is commonly used as a term of endearment. Gorditas are typically served as street food in Mexico, but their popularity has spread all over the world. The dish is also ideal for a light lunch or supper, or to serve before a rustic main course such as lamb birria . Although most gorditas are prepared in a savory version, there is also a dessert version called gorditas de azucar , with sugar and spices added to the dough, and a filling of chopped fruits and whipped cream.
