A gordita (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡorˈðita]) in Mexican cuisine is a small cake made with masa (nixtamalized corn flour) and stuffed with cheese, meat or other fillings.[1] It is similar to a pasty and to the Colombian/Venezuelan arepa. Gordita means "little fat one" in Spanish. A gordita is typically fried in a deep wok-shaped comal or baked on a regular comal.
