Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Chopped green chilies (canned)
• 1 cup Chopped lettuce
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking flatbread)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Stir in the Greek yogurt and milk until the dough comes together. Knead lightly on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes, then divide into 4 equal portions.

Step 3

Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into 6-inch disc shapes to form the flatbread.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and fluffy. Set aside.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 6

Add taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the seasoning is fully absorbed.

Step 7

Warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

To assemble the gorditas, spread a spoonful of black beans in the center of each flatbread.

Step 9

Top with a layer of seasoned ground beef, followed by shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, green chilies, chopped lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 10

Fold the flatbread around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Santa Fe Gorditas!
