Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 lb H‑E‑B Mi Tienda Ground Pork Chorizo, as needed
  • 4 each Adam's Authentic Mexican-Style Gorditas, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup(s) H‑E‑B Mi Tienda Cuatro Quesos Rallado Shredded Cheese, as needed
  • 1/4 cup(s) HCF Classic Olive oil, or vegetable oil, plus more as needed for cooking gorditas

Instructions

  1. Place a medium to large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add chorizo and cook until just starting to crisp and is fully cooked. Remove to a plate, leaving rendered fat in the skillet.
  2. Add gorditas to the skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until gorditas are just crispy on each side. Remove gorditas from the pan.
  3. While gorditas are hot, carefully cut into each halfway through the middle to make a pocket or cut completely in half if easier. Stuff or place approximately 2 to 3 tbsp. of cheese and chorizo evenly into or onto each gordita, then place tops back on and press gently.
  4. Gently place them back into the same hot pan and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted and gorditas are nicely browned and crispy. Repeat process with each additional gordita and add more oil as needed.
  5. Remove from pan, allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve with crema and Mi Tienda salsa of your choice if desired.
