Juchipila-Style Gorditas
Juchipila is a beautiful town located in the southern part of Zacatecas. Its cuisine is very rich, with the typical gorditas with salsa and cheese standing out. Some people prefer them with pork loin. They are delicious. I should mention that they are traditionally made by hand, but I haven't been able to do that, so I use a tortilla press. The result is very similar. Enjoy!
