Gorditas with chicken and avocado
Gorditas with chicken and avocado are a delicious and hearty Mexican dish consisting of small corn cakes filled with chicken and avocado. The gorditas are either fried or baked until they become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are then opened and filled with seasoned chicken pieces, avocado slices, and various sauces. This combination offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making it an excellent option for lunch or dinner.
