3-Ingredient Gorditas

Here’s a super simple way to make 3-ingredient gorditas—soft, thick little corn pockets you can fill with anything.

🌮 3-Ingredient Gorditas

Ingredients:

• 2 cups masa harina (corn flour for tortillas)
• 1½ cups warm water
• ½ teaspoon salt

🥣 Instructions:

1. Make the dough
   Mix masa harina and salt in a bowl. Gradually add warm water and mix until you get a soft, smooth dough (like playdough). Not sticky, not crumbly.
2. Shape
   Divide into small balls (golf-ball size), then flatten gently into thick discs (about ½ inch thick).
3. Cook
   Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat. Cook each gordita for about 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through.
4. Create the pocket
   While still warm, carefully slice halfway through the side to form a pocket.
5. Fill & enjoy
   Stuff with beans, cheese, chicken, veggies—whatever you like.

💡 Tips:

• If the dough cracks → add a little more water.
• If it sticks → add a bit more masa harina.
• Keep cooked gorditas wrapped in a cloth so they stay soft.

They’re cheap, filling, and naturally egg-free and butter-free. If you want, I can give you some easy filling ideas or a version without masa harina.
