Gorditas Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.

  2. 2

    Form the Gorditas

    Divide the dough into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each portion into a thick disc, about ½ inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gorditas

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the disc on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gorditas

    Once cooked, slice open each gordita, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff with your choice of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, avocado, mayonnaise, and sour cream.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious gorditas!
