What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Knead the masa harina, warm water, and salt into a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
- 2
Rest the dough covered for 10 minutes.
10 min10:00 - 3
Make 8 balls from the dough and press them in your palms into thick discs.
- 4
Lightly wipe the pan with oil and cook the thick masa discs for 4 minutes on each side, until spotted.
8 min08:00 - 5
Carefully open the cooked masa discs from the edge to form pockets.
- 6
Mash the boiled black beans and heat with shredded beef for 5 minutes.
5 min05:00 - 7
Fill the masa pockets with the bean beef mixture, white cheese, lettuce, and tomato salsa, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: Do not use regular cornmeal instead of masa harina; supermarket cornmeal is not nixtamalized, so gorditas crack and lack tortilla aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Open the gorditas hot and serve them like handheld street food with beans, cheese, beef, and hot salsa if desired.
