Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Maseca masa harina
  • 2 ¼ cups water (and more if needed)
  • salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Maseca masa harina and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and mix with your hands until fully combined.
  2. Knead the dough until it is smooth and manageable, resembling play dough.
  3. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and cover with a damp kitchen towel to keep them moist.
  4. Preheat a comal or skillet over medium heat.
  5. Roll each dough portion into a ball, then flatten between plastic sheets to about 4.5 inches in diameter.
  6. Cook on the hot griddle for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and puffed.
  7. Create pockets by cutting a slit in the side of each cooked gordita and stuff with your desired fillings.
