Grilled Gorditas Recipe

Directions for Grilled Gorditas

1. 1

   Prepare the dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

2. 2

   Shape the gorditas

   Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8 pieces) and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the gorditas

   Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook each disk for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through.

4. 4

   Add fillings

   Once cooked, carefully split each gordita open and fill with asientos and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Allow the cheese to melt slightly.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the grilled gorditas warm, optionally with salsa or additional toppings of your choice.
