- Combine the masa harina, water and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir till smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky and form a ball when pressed together. To test, flatten a small ball of dough between your palms. If the edges crack, add in water to the dough, a Tbsp. at a time, till a test piece does not crack.
- Divide the masa into 6 balls. Press each one between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to create 6-inch rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Heat a dry non-stick pan or possibly well seasoned griddle pan over medium heat. Toast the gorditas, turning frequently, for 3 to 4 min per side or possibly till speckled and golden brown on the outside and puffy. Set aside for up to 6 hrs before finishing the dish.
- In a large, heavy saucepan or possibly deepfat fryer, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350 degrees. Deep fry the gorditas, in batches, till golden brown-brown. When cold sufficient to handle, split open like pita bread and fill the pockets with either Carne Asada or possibly Grilled Fish And White Bean Fillings.
