8 to 10 masa balls.
3. With your hands, flaen each masa ball to form the gorditas and cook in a hot griddle for 1 minute on each side
or until cooked.
4. In a bowl, crumble the cheese, add the chives and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Slit gorditas in half and fill with ricoa mixture. Serve with salsa to taste
