Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Chopped green chilies (canned)
- 1 cup Chopped lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking flatbread)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
Stir in the Greek yogurt and milk until the dough comes together. Knead lightly on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes, then divide into 4 equal portions.
Step 3
Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into 6-inch disc shapes to form the flatbread.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and fluffy. Set aside.
Step 5
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 6
Add taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the seasoning is fully absorbed.
Step 7
Warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Step 8
To assemble the gorditas, spread a spoonful of black beans in the center of each flatbread.
Step 9
Top with a layer of seasoned ground beef, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green chilies, chopped lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 10
Fold the flatbread around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Santa Fe Gorditas!
