Steps:
- To make the chicharrón prensado, toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 2 minutes; they should be richly aromatic but not burned. Put in a blender with the garlic, onion, and 2 cups water, and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
- In a large pot combine the carnitas with pork skin and the salsa over low heat. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the salsa is reduced enough to thickly coat the meat. You shouldn't need to add any salt here, as the carnitas should be well seasoned.
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth (some people prefer a coarse purée). Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, using a spoon to mash the avocados into the other ingredients. It's up to you how much to mash-I like mine pretty lumpy!
- To make the gordas, knead the masa with the lard or oil until it's fully incorporated (it's impossible to overwork masa since there's no gluten, and in fact it only improves in quality the more you work it). Separate the masa into 8 equal portions and roll into balls. Place a ball between two sheets of plastic (cut from a plastic bag) and flatten to create a ½-inch-thick tortilla shape with a tortilla press or with this cookbook. Repeat for all the balls.
- Heat a griddle or large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add as many gordas as will comfortably fit in the skillet. Cook for about 20 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes or so. They should get golden brown on the outside, with some charred specks; reduce the heat if they brown too quickly. They're done when the inside is soft and fluffy, and the outside crisp and crunchy. (Gordas are best straight from the griddle, but can be kept in a 250ºF oven until ready to serve, if necessary.)
- Slice open the gordas three-fourths of the way around, then fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the chicharrón prensado, then queso, onion, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, and lime to taste.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add chicken, chicken bouillon, onion, and garlic. Cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink the middle, about 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat a pancake grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Mix corn flour, 1 1/4 cups water, and salt together in a bowl until a smooth, moist dough is formed. Add more water if the dough seems too dry. Divide dough into 8 to 10 medium-sized balls and pat each into a 1/4-inch thick round.
- Cook dough rounds on the preheated grill until cooked on the outside, about 3 minutes per side. Pull the edges out while still hot, making a little indention in the center of each gordita.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Deep fry gorditas until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 5 minutes per gordita. Set aside on a wire cooling rack.
- Pour beans into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat.
- Drain chicken, reserving cooking liquid. Remove meat from the bones and transfer meat to a food processor. Add a few tablespoons of cooking liquid and chop to desired consistency.
- Spread a layer of warm beans on each gordita, then top with chopped chicken, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cotija cheese. Finish with a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, mix the Masa Harina with the water or broth and 2 tablespoons oil or melted lard and the salt.
- 2. Knead the dough just until it comes to a ball. You might need to add a little more water or broth to make it a little moist but not sticky.
- 3. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a 10-inch log.
- 4. Cut into 10 pieces.
- 5. Using a 3 inch round biscuit cutter, mold the pieces into flat disks a scant 1/2 inch thick.
- 6. Heat a large griddle or comal ( a round flat griddle). Put the gorditas on the griddle to cook over moderate/high heat, turning once, until lightly browned in spots about two minutes per side.
- 7. Using the back of a spoon, lightly press indenting starting from the middle and all around the gordita on one side only leaving a lip all around the edge of the gordita. In other words, your gorditas should look like flat little bowls with a lip all around.
- 8. In a large skillet, heat about a 1/2 cup oil or lard or butter. Oil or lard should be shimmering. Add the gorditas and fry over high heat until golden and crispy. About 2 minutes per side.
- 9. Drain on paper towels.
- 10. Top with your favorite toppings such as the seasoned shredded pork or chicken or chorizo filling the indentation or the wells in each of the little gordita patties. Finish topping with the salsa, sour cream or queso fresco or Cotija cheese. Serve hot. These are truly luscious. Tip: Make two batches your family will want more than ten.
- 11. The above picture shows my gorditas made with chorizo, diced sweet onion, grated queso fresco and I have used two sauces, to top them off. Tomatillo salsa and chipotle salsa. Enjoy
