[edit] Meaning
Gordita just means "little fat (something)", and it refers to a fat tortilla, not a fat woman. I mean, that's just crazy.
- I ended up making this correction without even noticing your comment here. You're right. I mean, obviously no one would claim that enchilada meant "woman stuffed with hot peppers" so why make such an assumpion about gordita? ;) --Iustinus 17:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
Umm... OOOOK, user:198.97.78.136 just added THREE WHOLE PARAGRAPHS about how gordita can also mean "plump girl." Um... other wikipedians: what do you think of this? Seems unneccessary to me. Worth a couple sentences at most. --Iustinus 18:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- I've heard the word used in this way, so it's not just an assumption. But 3 paragraphs which all said the same thing did seem a bit much, so I've condensed it to one. Wwagner 19:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

- That seems much more reasonable. I don't doubt that gordita is used that way, as it does mean "little zaftig one" and is feminine, I would only question whether this usage came from the food, as it seems likely to be an independant usage of the same word (just as one might describe a small donkey as a burrito). But it seems fair enough to mention it here in any case, so long as it's done unobtrusively. --Iustinus 08:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ingredients
Does the tortilla used in gorditas contain shortening/oil/fat, salt, wheat flour, and baking powder in addition to the masa harina? Badagnani 03:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
