Authentic gordita recipe that's customizable with your favorite fillings, a cherished family tradition.
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups instant corn masa flour (such as Maseca®)
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 0.5 cup water, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, mix corn masa flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add water until a firm dough forms. Divide dough into equal parts and roll into small balls, then flatten into 1/4-inch circles.
  • Preheat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Cook the dough circles on the hot griddle until golden brown, puffed up, and cooked through, approximately 3 minutes on each side.
  • Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Pan-fry gorditas, in batches if needed, until golden brown on each side for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels before serving hot.
