Gorditas - A Torreon Specialty



Each region in Mexico tends to have a "specialty" when it comes to food. Puebla is known for its mole, which is a spicy sauce with chocolate in it served over chicken. Monterrey serves meat for almost every meal. Torreon is known for its gorditas.

Gorditas (pictured above) are made of a small thick tortilla. A small slit is made in the tortilla and the inside is stuffed with a filling. There are many fillings to choose from: beans, cheese, pork, chicken, chili poblanos, and more.

Gorditas are usually eaten for breakfast, which is served between 8 and 11 a.m. As missionaries, we enjoy trying new foods and occasionally dine on gorditas for breakfast.
