Ingredients
- 8 pieces gorditas - pre-made and pre-cooked
- 16 ounces prepared barbecue chicken - shredded
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil - more if necessary 
 
A small, but hearty, sandwich that is delicious--and easy.
 
Directions
  • Place oil in large heavy skillet so it fills pan with approximently 1/2 inch of oil. Heat
    on medium setting.
  • Place pre-made and pre-baked gordita in oil, about 1 to 2 minutes per side,
    until golden brown and crispy, turning once with a spatula. (A lower fat option is to cook the
    gordita by lightly coating the pan with a cooking spray or oil; this makes a less crispy gordita.)
  • Remove gorditas with spatula and place on a cooling rack or a paper towel to absorb excess
    oil.
  • Preheat prepared shredded chicken filling.
  • When gorditas are cool enough to handle,
    split each with a knife to open a pocket for the filling and fill with the chicken.
