That, my friends, is the Gordita King.
Otherwise known as Geoff, Kayla’s fiance and soon-to-be husband come June 18th.
His dream is to make gorditas and have a gordita restaurant. What is a gordita? A softly grilled masa exterior with a cheesy gooey varied filling. Similar to a papusa, but not fried. Geoff was the nicest guy ever and made me vegetarian gorditas because I mentioned I’d like to try them.
Kayla said it was just because he loves any excuse to make gorditas.
Either way, he shaped those babies by hand, and filled them with either a bean and cheese mixture or a cheese and green pepper filling. He even bought soy chorizo for me (since I don’t eat meat) to fry up with the bean and cheese. Wow. Stand-up guy right there.
It was delicious and he wielded that tiny spatula like a master.
As Kayla got ready to take me to the airport, Geoff handed me a little plastic box. He made me three gorditas to take home on the airplane! He knew I wasn’t going to have any food to eat at home tonight.
And that is precisely why Kayla is marrying him. Geoff is one of the best guys in the world.
xoxo,
Jenn
