Gorditas Zacatecanas

This variety of gorditas comes from Zacatecas, hence the name. In the region, these crisp masa cakes make for a great snack that is beloved by locals. The gorditas are made with masa harina, and they are filled with a combination of beans, garlic, chili peppers, and cumin. The concoction is then baked until golden-brown in color, and the gorditas should ideally be consumed immediately.
