INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the .Roasted Tomatillo Salsa. and .Crema. recipes which are
included in this collection.
In a medium saucepan, heat the lard over medium-high heat. Saute the onion,
stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden. Add the garlic,
salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes or
until translucent. Add the mashed beans and continue cooking, stirring
occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the beans form a mass that
pulls away from the sides and bottom of the pan -- about 10 more minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and thyme and set aside. Brush a grill or griddle pan
with the olive oil and heat until very hot. Grill the fish for about 3 to 5
minutes on a side, depending on its thickness, or until firm. Do not
overcook. Cut the fish into 1/2-inch chunks. To fill the gorditas, place an
equal quantity of the refried white beans, grilled fish, Roasted Tomatillo
Salsa, lettuce, Crema and feta inside the pocket of each and serve
immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
