Gorditas Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix masa harina, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.
Form the Gorditas
Divide the dough into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball). Use your hands to flatten each ball into a thick disc about ½ inch thick.
Cook the Gorditas
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Cook each gordita for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the Filling
Once cooked, carefully slice the gorditas open and fill them with your choice of filling, such as cheese, beans, or meat.
Serve
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious gorditas!
