Corn Gorditas are a traditional Mexican dish made from masa harina, a type of corn flour, mixed with water and shaped into thick patties. They are cooked on a griddle until lightly crispy on the outside and tender inside. Gorditas can be split and stuffed with various fillings like beans, meats, cheese, or vegetables, making them incredibly versatile. As a corn-based dish, gorditas are a good source of fiber and gluten-free, making them suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities. Depending on the fillings and preparation, they can range from healthy to indulgent. Opting for nutrient-rich fillings like beans, lean proteins, and fresh vegetables can enhance their nutritional value. However, fried variants or heavy fillings may add extra calories and saturated fats. Corn Gorditas represent a delicious balance of tradition and adaptability in Mexican cuisine.
