Gorditas de Papas con Chorizo: A Delicious Mexican Treat
Gorditas de Papas con Chorizo are a delightful Mexican dish that combines crispy corn masa pockets with a savory filling of potatoes and chorizo. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these gorditas are sure to become a favorite in your household. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started.
Ingredients:
For the Gorditas:
- 2 cups masa harina (corn flour)
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
For the Filling:
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 pound Mexican chorizo
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Masa:
- In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a thick disk, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Gorditas:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.
- Cook each gordita for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large pan, cook the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until it starts to brown.
- Add the diced potatoes, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the chorizo is fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Gorditas:
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit in the side of each gordita to create a pocket.
- Stuff each gordita with the chorizo and potato mixture. Be generous with the filling for the best flavor.
- Serve:
- Serve the gorditas warm, topped with your favorite salsa, crema, and fresh cilantro. They pair wonderfully with a side of refried beans or a fresh salad.
