About Gorditas
Gorditas are a traditional Mexican dish made from masa harina, a type of corn flour, shaped into thick discs and cooked on a griddle or fried. Typically, they are split and stuffed with savory fillings like beans, cheese, meats, or vegetables. Originating from Mexican street food, gorditas offer a versatile option for enjoying bold, authentic flavors. While masa harina provides a gluten-free base rich in fiber, the healthiness of gorditas depends on the fillings and cooking methods. Griddle-cooked gorditas tend to be lighter, while fried versions are higher in fat and calories. Fillings like lean proteins, beans, and fresh vegetables can enhance their nutritional profile, offering a balance of protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, toppings like sour cream, cheese, or fatty meats may add extra calories and saturated fats. Gorditas can be customized to fit a more nutrient-conscious diet or enjoyed as an indulgent treat celebrating Mexican cuisine.
