Dish story
Gorditas are one of Mexico's most popular street foods. Made from nixtamalized corn dough, they can be found throughout the country with countless fillings that vary from region to region and from one cook to another. From pressed pork crackling to beans, cheese and traditional stews, gorditas are a true symbol of authentic Mexican comfort food.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, our gorditas are made with corn dough filled with pressed pork crackling and fried until golden and crispy. They are served with fresh cream, Mexican-style fresh cheese and our house-made salsa macha prepared with árbol and guajillo chillies, adding bold flavour, gentle smokiness and just the right amount of heat. A classic Mexican street food with the unmistakable Cutzamala touch.
Main ingredients
Pressed pork crackling is a traditional ingredient widely used in Mexican cuisine. It is made by pressing together pork meat and rendered fat after preparing pork crackling, creating a rich, succulent filling full of flavour. It is one of the most classic fillings for gorditas, quesadillas and many other Mexican street food favourites.
