I mostly learned about my indigenous heritage from Chef Medrano's documentary Truly Texas Mexican. I'm so grateful to see his gifts in the spotlight. Thank you for having him on the show!
Muchas gracias for sharing your recipe. I am Central American and trying to indigenize my diet and this recipe is perfect 🤩 thank you so so so much !!!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Gorditas remind me so much of Venezuelan-style arepas. The open faced style in particular reminds me of arepas from my family's home country of Colombia. I'm looking forward to making this recipe.
Thanks friends. I am interested to try. But for me, here in UK, shrimp is SHRIMP not prawn. its a different species a different taste and texture. maybe you don't have it in US? do you use the word prawn? Someone explain to me!!
Hi friend! We do have prawns in North America, but they’re not as common as shrimp. Shrimp are abundant along the coasts of Turtle Island and are extensively farmed here due to their popularity in local cuisines. While prawns can occasionally be found, they’re rarer and more expensive. This is because prawns typically live in tropical freshwater habitats, like those in Southeast Asia or South America, and have to be imported. Feel free to try this recipe with prawn if that's what's locally available to you!
@@IndigenousFoodLab Thanks for your reply. i still wonder if we are talking about different species - and I have done a bit of reading about it. I think if you could eat our 'shrimp' from the North Sea, you would not recognise it. But you might like it! I dislike prawns, too squeaky and a different taste. Our Shrimp tastes like Crab. prawns do not.

Thank you for taking the time to share your food.
Thank you for the cutting onions tip and turning your knife over to scrape items off the cutting board!!! Little things but very helpful for me

Excellent *and* beautiful explanation. 💕💕💕
These look so delicious! I'm headed to San Antonio next yr and I'm going to have to find a place that serves these to try!
Looks so good 😋

Sunflower oil is terrible for you, use lard or go home.
I love gorditas and nopales. I've never had them together before, I will definitely try it.
