The Presidential Delegation of the Biobío region authorized the operation of fondas and ramadas until midnight with police support in the lead-up to the Fiestas Patrias. [^1]

The article provides a recipe for preparing gorditas de chicharrón prensado, a Mexican antojito made from nixtamalized corn masa stuffed with a stew of chicharrón prensado in a roasted tomato and chile sauce. [^2]

Julio Anativia, the delegate, explained that operating beyond midnight requires a case-by-case evaluation and depends on special measures that each organizer must provide and request specific authorizations for. [^3]

The preparation involves toasting the chiles and roasting the tomatoes, onion, and garlic, blending them into a smooth salsa, cooking the shredded chicharrón with the salsa for 12 to 15 minutes until reduced, forming the masa into thick disks filled with the stew, and frying each side for about four minutes until golden and crispy. [^4]

The recipe calls for 400 grams of chicharrón prensado, 4 ripe tomatoes, 2 guajillo chiles, 1 ancho chile, a quarter white onion, 1 garlic clove, half a cup of water or broth, salt, 1 kilogram of nixtamalized corn masa, half a cup of warm water, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of lard (optional), and frying oil. [^5]

Some municipalities have planned openings until 2:00 AM within the framework of tenders, but they must justify how they will guarantee security for attendees past midnight. [^6]

The article states that in Mexico City, gorditas became emblems of street stalls, markets, and small kitchens installed at the entrances of the Metro. [^7]
