Ingredients

  • 2 cups of masa harina
  • 1 ½ cups of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack work well)
  • Oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, etc.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Gradually add the warm water while stirring continuously. Mix until a smooth and pliable dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Shape the Gorditas

Divide the dough into small golf ball-sized portions. Take one portion and roll it into a ball shape. Place it between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Using a tortilla press, flatten the ball into a round patty, about ¼-inch thick. Repeat this process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 3: Add the Cheese Filling

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese onto one side of a flattened dough patty. Fold the patty in half, enclosing the cheese within. Press the edges firmly to seal the gordita. Repeat this step for all the flattened patties.

Step 4: Fry the Gorditas

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the sealed gorditas into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the gorditas from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once the gorditas have cooled slightly, you can serve them as is or with your favorite toppings. Salsa, guacamole, or sour cream are all excellent choices. These cheesy gorditas make a fantastic appetizer, snack, or even a main course. Share them with family and friends, and savor the delicious flavors of Mexico!
