One of my favorite dishes that my grandma has taught me how to make. After they are cooked they can be stuffed with whatever filling you like.

Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups instant corn masa flour (such as Maseca®)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup water, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Steps
- Combine corn masa flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add a little water at a time until a firm dough forms. Divide dough into equal pieces and roll between your hands to form small balls. Press dough into 1/4-inch circles.
- Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Add dough circles to the hot griddle and cook until light brown, slightly inflated, and cooked on the outsides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry gorditas in batches, if necessary, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
