Pork cracklings Gorditas

Ingredients

  • 2 cups MASECA® Nixtamasa corn masa flour
  • 1½ cup water
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 cup pressed pork cracklings

Preparation

  1. Combine MASECA® Nixtamasa corn masa flour and water. Using your hands, knead for 2 minutes until you form a soft dough.
  2. Make a small masa ball and press with your hands to form a thick tortilla. Add a tablespoon of pork cracklings in the middle of the thick tortilla and close the tortilla to form a masa ball again.
  3. Press again with your hands to form a 1/2-inch thick gordita. Cook gordita on a hot griddle on both sides with little oil until golden brown. Garnish with cilantro, onion, and your favorite salsa.
