Mix the corn dough, lard, and salt in a bowl, gradually adding water. Knead until it feels smooth and does not stick to the bowl. Heat the oil in a pot and fry the onion for 5 minutes or until it is slightly golden. Then add the beans and, using a masher, mash them and cook until they have no liquid left. Set aside. To make the gorditas: Form balls with the help of your hands and then flatten them a little, place them on the tray of the Chefman® Multifunctional Air Fryer and fry at 200 °C for 20 minutes in air fry mode. Remove the bean gorditas from the tray and let them cool slightly so that, with the help of a knife, you can cut the gordita without reaching the center. Fill with a tablespoon of beans and place on the plate where you will serve them. Decorate the bean gorditas with cream, cheese, and green sauce.
