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
  • 1/4 cup of sliced onions
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Ready to start cooking? Follow these simple steps:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough is formed.
  2. Divide the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.
  3. Using a tortilla press or a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a disk, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the gorditas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. To assemble the Chicharrón Gorditas, carefully slice open each gordita, creating a pocket.
  8. Spread a spoonful of refried beans inside each pocket.
  9. Next, stuff the gorditas with shredded chicharrón.
  10. Garnish with crumbled queso fresco, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced onions – the choice is yours!
  11. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicharrón Gorditas.
