GORDITAS
Steps:
- Divide the masa into 6 balls. Press each one between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to form 6inch rounds about 1/8inch thick. Heat a dry non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle pan over medium heat. Toast the gorditas, turning frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until speckled and golden on the outside and puffy. Set aside for up to 6 hours before finishing the dish.
- In a large, heavy saucepan or deep fat fryer, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry the gorditas, in batches, until golden brown. When cool enough to handle, split open like pita bread and fill the pockets with either Carne Asada or Grilled Fish and White Bean fillings.
GORDITAS
Gorditas are similar to pita pockets but much heartier! Can be stuffed with just about anything! I make them with a mixture of corn masa mix and all-purpose flour.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the masa harina, salt and hot water. Gradually mix in the shortening and flour. If the dough seems dry, add a little more hot water. Form the dough into balls that will fit into the palm of your hand.
- Line a work surface with waxed paper or plastic. Sprinkle with water. Flatten balls on the wet surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Cook the gorditas on each side until they are cooked through.
- Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot. Fry each gordita until puffed, pressing it down into the oil occasionally with a spatula. Drain briefly on paper towels, cut the tips off and stuff full of your favorite foods.

- 1. __Make the corn masa__: In a large bowl, whisk together *masa harina*, salt, and baking powder. Use your hands to incorporate the lard into the dry ingredients. Add 1 cup of warm water and mix using a spatula. Continue adding warm water little by little until the dough just starts to come together. Transfer dough to a clean work surface and continue adding warm water as needed, kneading the dough by hand. Test the consistency by breaking off a small ball of dough and pressing it into your hand. The dough should be cohesive, but not so wet that it sticks to your hand (you should be able to easily peel the dough back from your hand). If the dough is too crumbly, continue adding warm water. If it’s too sticky, add a little *masa harina*. Let the dough rest, covered with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, about 30 minutes.
- 2. __Press the gorditas__: Pull off a golfball-size dough ball. Using a tortilla press or baking dish, press tortillas between two sheets of plastic to ¼ inch–thick patties. (Alternatively, use wet hands to hand-press dough.) Transfer patties to a baking dish covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- 3. __Toast the gorditas__: In a dry pan or comal, toast the gorditas over medium-high heat until crispy on the outside with some brown spots, about 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer the gorditas to a plate or baking sheet.
- 4. __Shallow-fry the gorditas__: Keeping the pan over medium-high heat, add enough lard to the pan to coat fully. (Oil should pool up around the sides of the pan when swirled.) Shallow-fry the gorditas in oil until they puff up, about 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
