  • For the dough, mix in a bowl the corn flour along with the lard and salt; gradually add water while stirring until the ingredients are integrated and a thick consistency is obtained. Set aside.
  • For the chicharrón, blend the onion along with the garlic and guajillo chili until fully integrated.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, place the chicharrón in pieces, add the guajillo chili sauce. Season with salt and cook for 8 minutes or until the sauce reduces a bit. Cool.
  • For the chicharrón gorditas, take a portion of dough of approximately 35 grams, form a ball, flatten it with your hands and with your finger, make a hole wide enough to add a tablespoon of stewed chicharrón. Close it with your hands and form a medium circle of about half a centimeter thick.
  • Cook the gordita on a hot griddle over medium heat on both sides; it is important that the pan is hot enough, but at low heat, otherwise, the dough will not cook inside and the surface will only burn. Set aside.
  • Open the chicharrón gordita, add cilantro and onion to taste.
