- For the Jalapeno Salsa: Combine the jalapenos, tomatoes, garlic and water in a saucepan. Boil 10 min. Remove the stems from the jalapenos, and place the jalapenos, tomatoes, garlic and water in a blender. Blend at medium speed till pureed. Add in salt to taste.
- For the Gorditas: Combine the masa and all-purpose flours, shortening, water and salt to taste in a mixing bowl. Mix with your hands till the dough can be formed into a ball. The dough will be slightly sticky.
- Heat a skillet till very warm, then reduce the heat when ready to cook the gorditas.
- Take 1/4 c. of masa and pat it between your hands till it resembles a thick tortilla, about the size of a large cookie. Place the gordita in the skillet and cook it till the dough puffs slightly, 4 to 5 min on each side.
- Open the gordita as if you were making a pocket to fill. Add in a small amount of meat, beans, cheese and a tomato slice, as if building a taco. Repeat the steps till all the dough has been used. Serve the gorditas with Jalapeno Salsa.
- This recipe yields 18 gorditas.
