Beef-Stuffed Eat Tacos

Gorditas, or “little fat ones,” are like thick griddled tacos. While usually filled with stewed meats like beef, pork, or chicken, they can be made simply with black beans and/or cheese or seafood. In Mexico’s Lake Pátzcuaro area—mystically known as the place where the barrier between life and death is the thinnest—they are made with blue corn.
