Pastries and dough-based dishes
Thick, round masa harina cakes are cooked on a griddle, split open, and filled with beans and vegetables. Made with little oil, these Mexican gorditas make a heart-friendly addition to a picnic basket or party table.
Knead the masa harina with lukewarm water and salt for 8 minutes, until a soft dough forms.
Shape the dough into thick, round cakes.
Cook the cakes on a hot griddle with a little olive oil for 5 minutes on each side.
Split the cooked cakes open and fill them with the mashed beans, tomato, and red onion mixture.
Do not flip the cakes too often as they cook on the griddle; let the outside form a crust first. Split them while they are hot, since they can become brittle and break as they cool.
