For the marinated meat filling, blend the roasted onion with the roasted garlic, roasted cascabel chili, and chicken broth until completely integrated and set aside. Then, in a pan with hot vegetable oil, cook the onion until it begins to have a shiny tone.
Add the shredded beef and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the blended sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 more minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the corn dough with the lard, salt, and water, remembering to pour the water slowly, until the consistency is manageable and slightly moist.
To form the gorditas, with your hands, make a ball of approximately 40 grams, flatten it gradually until you get a circle half a centimeter thick; place it on a hot comal and cook for 6 minutes on low heat on both sides. Remove from heat.
With a serrated knife, open the gorditas along the edge horizontally without cutting all the way through. Fill with the stew and Oaxaca cheese.
Return to the comal and heat for 3 more minutes. Serve and accompany with green sauce.
