For the stew, in a small pot with hot oil, sauté the onion and garlic until they change color. Add the tomato and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, until it begins to break down. Incorporate the mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, serrano chili, chipotle, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside. For the dough, in a bowl mix the corn masa with the oil, baking powder, and salt; knead until incorporated. Using your hands, form a small ball of dough and flatten it to form a circular gordita. Cook on a hot griddle on both sides over medium heat for 10 minutes. Set aside. With the help of a knife, make a small opening in the gorditas, fill with mushroom stew and serve with avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Ready, enjoy!
