Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups Masa Harina Corn Flour
• 2 1/4 cups Water (warm)
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/2 cup Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Powder

• Salsa
• Lettuce
• Sour Cream
• Onion
• Avocado

Instructions

1. Heat griddle to medium low and lightly oil.
2. Mix Masa Harina Flour and water; add shortening, salt, flour, and baking powder. Knead until a smooth ball forms, cleaning the sides of the bowl.
3. Wet hands and shape dough into 1½–2-inch balls. Keep covered to prevent drying. With moistened hands, pat and flatten into ¼-inch thick patties, forming a 3–4-inch circle.
4. Place gorditas on the oiled preheated griddle. Cook each side until lightly browned, about 6–8 minutes per side.
5. Slice gorditas halfway through, forming a pocket. Fill with your favorite fillings.
