Gorditas with Queso and Frijoles Recipe, Just Like Chicago’s La Chiquita!

Gorditas are chubby tortillas made from masa harina and stuffed with your choice of favorite Mexican filling. For Vivi Abeja, one of Familia Kitchen’s favorite Mexican cooks, that choice always has and always will be queso and frijoles: beans and cheese.

Just like the queso and frijoles gorditas she grew up eating in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood where she still lives. “Gorditas are special to me and my family. My grandparents lived in La Villita, a couple blocks from the grocery store, La Chiquita. La Chiquita is a famous grocery store in our neighborhood that has a restaurant attached to it, and my grandparents ate many times there: After church, after an afternoon of running errands, and with family and friends. They loved all the food from the restaurant, but their favorite were these gorditas de queso y frijoles.”

Watch Vivi make her just-perfected recipes for gorditas — and learn how they are different than pupusas!
