If you love authentic Mexican flavors, gorditas are a must-try. These thick, handmade corn tortillas are slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside, making them perfect for stuffing with your favorite fillings.
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina, salt, and warm water. Knead until the dough is soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time. Let it rest for 5 minutes to fully hydrate.
Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface and cook the gorditas for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop golden brown spots.
