Ingredients
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon green chilies (I use canned and refridge the rest)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Pitas or pocket vegan bread
For those of you who aren''t familiar with Gorditas (literally little fat ones) they are dough pockets filled with m**t and spices. I have an aunt who used to add potatoes which inspired me. I don''t have time to make the dough pockets--very similar to making tortillas so I use Pitas.
Turn heat on medium high and add potatoes. Add the spices, garlic, & chilies Stir occasionally to keep from sticking to the bottom of pan. After about 8 minutes of boiling potatoes and spices reduce heat, cover, and simmer until thickened. Because potatoes are a natural thickener they and the water make it kind of saucy.
I usually let it simmer about 20 minutes are more. When its done, fill up the pita pockets -- I cut them in half so that I have a half circle and eat.
