Ingredients
- 2 cups of masa harina (corn flour)
- 1 cup of warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of shredded chicharrón (fried pork rinds)
- 1/2 cup of refried beans
- 1/4 cup of crumbled queso fresco (fresh cheese)
- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes

- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Ready to start cooking? Follow these simple steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough is formed.
- Divide the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.
- Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a disk, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the flattened dough disk into the hot oil and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the gorditas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- To assemble the Chicharrón Gorditas, carefully slice open each gordita, creating a pocket.
- Spread a spoonful of refried beans inside each pocket.
- Next, stuff the gorditas with shredded chicharrón.
- Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced onions – the choice is yours!
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicharrón Gorditas.

Here are few additional tips to enhance your Chicharrón Gorditas:
- For added flavor, consider mixing some spices, such as cumin or chili powder, into the masa harina dough.

- Experiment with different fillings like guacamole, hot sauce, or sour cream to customize your gorditas.
