Instructions to make Chicken Gorditas:
- Mix all of the dough ingredients in a medium mixing bowl using a hand mixer.
- Divide dough into eight pieces. Roll into balls and using the palm of your hand flatten each ball slightly forming a disc. (not too thin)
- Place a small amount of oil on a griddle and cook each disc on medium high heat on both sides until lightly browned.
- Wrap in foil and save until later.
- Prepare chicken. Place all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Until chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove chicken (save the leftover water) cut each breast in half and place in a large mixing bowl with 1/2 cup of the chicken stock. (Save the rest of the stock for rice)
- Using a hand mixer shred your chicken. When finished cover with foil and save for later.
- Prepare your rice. Place oil in saucepan over medium high heat. Add rice and fry until light brown. Add your 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock your sazon and stir once. Tightly cover with a lid and reduce heat low for 20mins. Do not stir in the mean time. When finished remove from heat. And fluff with a fork before serving.
- Prepare refried beans. I use a can of pinto beans cooked over medium jigh heat and then smash them.
- Fry Gorditas. Place 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Cut gorditas almost all the way through like a bun. Fry on each side but be sure to keep a fork in the middle while frying to keep it from frying shut. Remove from oil and place on paper towel.
- Spread beans inside each gordita. Add a handful of chicken a handful of cheese, shredded lettuce a slice of tomato and drizzle with some crema mexicana. (Its easier to cut the gorditas all the way through once fried and assemble like a sandwich)
- Serve with beans and rice and salsa.
