Ingredients
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina, warm water, and salt. Knead gently until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Divide the dough into golf-ball-sized portions. Flatten each into a disk about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a skillet or comal over medium heat and brush lightly with oil.
Cook each gordita 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffed.
Slice a small pocket into each gordita and fill with cheese or your chosen fillings. Press edges gently to seal.
Return to the skillet for 1 minute to warm through.
Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite toppings.
