  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Maseca masa harina
  • 2 ¼ cups water (plus more if needed)
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine Maseca masa harina and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and mix by hand until you achieve a smooth dough.
  2. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and cover them with a damp towel.
  3. Heat a comal or skillet over medium heat. Roll each dough portion into a ball, then flatten it between two plastic sheets using a heavy dish or tortilla press to form thick tortillas (approximately 4.5 inches in diameter).
  4. Cook each gordita on the heated skillet for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown, then create slits on the sides for easy stuffing.
