  • 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.
