1
Prepare the Dough
In a bowl, mix the cornmeal, water, and salt until a dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

In a skillet, cook the ground beef, chicken, or shredded beef over medium heat until thoroughly cooked, seasoning as desired.
3
Shape the Gorditas
Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten each portion into a disc about ½ inch thick.

Cook the Gorditas
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each gordita for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Stuff the Gorditas
Remove gorditas from the skillet, slice them open, and stuff with the meat filling and shredded cheese.
