Zubereitung von Chilorio Gorditas
- **Prepare the Chilorio:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine pork, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 ½ hours, or until pork is very tender.
- **Shred the Pork:** Remove the pork from the pot and let it cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the pork with two forks.
- **Make the Chile Sauce:** While the pork is simmering, prepare the chile sauce. In a blender, combine guajillo chiles, oregano, cumin, parsley, and garlic. Add ½ cup of the cooking liquid from the pork to help blend. Blend until smooth.
- **Combine Pork and Sauce:** Add the chile sauce to the shredded pork. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- **Prepare the Gorditas:** In a large bowl, combine masa harina with 2 cups of warm water (adjust as needed to reach desired consistency) and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms.
- **Shape the Gorditas:** Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 4-inch disc, about ½ inch thick.
- **Cook the Gorditas:** Heat a large comal or skillet over medium heat. Cook the gorditas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through.
- **Assemble the Gorditas:** Slice each gordita in half horizontally without separating the halves completely. Spread refried beans inside, top with chilorio and diced onions.
- **Serve:** Serve the Chilorio Gorditas warm and enjoy!
