Instructions

  1. 1 Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  2. 2 Combine water and canola oil in a separate bowl. Mix into the flour mixture with a fork until dough forms a ball, adding 1/4 cup water if dough is too dry.
  3. 3 Knead dough until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide into 14 egg-size balls. Cover bowl with a cotton towel. Let dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Roll 1 ball dough into an 8-inch tortilla on a floured work surface. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. 5 Preheat an ungreased cast iron griddle on medium-high heat. Place 1 tortilla on the hot griddle; cook until browned spots form, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate; cover with a cotton towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas, stacking them under the towel.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in shortening by hand, or with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. If mixture looks more floury than crumbly, add one or two more tablespoons of shortening. Add about 3/4 cup hot water, or just enough to moisten.
  2. 2 Knead dough by hand or with a large fork, rubbing dough against the sides of the mixing bowl to gather any clinging dough. If dough still sticks to the side of the bowl, add a couple more tablespoons of flour until dough forms a soft round shape. For best results, cover dough with a clean dish towel, and let it rest for about an hour or so.
  3. 3 Divide dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Roll each ball on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick.
  4. 4 Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  5. 5 Place a tortilla in the preheated pan and cook until browned and slightly puffy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn tortilla over to brown on second side, about 30 seconds or a minute more; transfer to a plate. Repeat with each piece of dough. Keep cooked tortillas covered with a towel to stay warm and moist until ready to serve.

  2. 2 Stir masa harina, water, and salt together in a large bowl until combined.
  3. 3 Whisk flour and baking powder together in a small bowl until combined.
  4. 4 Gradually stir flour mixture and shortening into masa harina mixture, using clean hands when mixture is cool enough to touch. If dough seems dry, add more hot water, 1 to 3 teaspoons at a time, until dough is somewhat clay-like in texture, evenly moistened, and tacky but not sticky.
  5. 5 Evenly divide and roll dough into 6 balls (about 2 ½ inches or 2 ¾ ounces each); keep covered with plastic wrap while working.
  6. 6 Line a work surface with waxed paper or plastic wrap; sprinkle lightly with water. Working with one ball at a time, flatten balls on the wet surface into a 5 ½-inch disc (about until about 1⁄8-inch thick). Transfer discs to a waxed paper- or plastic wrap-lined baking sheet; keep covered with plastic wrap while working with remaining dough.
  7. 7 Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat. Working in batches if needed, cook gorditas until dry to the touch with some small, very lightly golden spots, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place gorditas in a single layer, uncovered, on large plates or a large baking sheet.
  8. 8 Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat until hot enough to bubble immediately when edge of gordita is dipped in. Fry gorditas, one by one, until puffed, gently pressing it down into the oil occasionally with a spatula, about 45 seconds per side.
  9. 9 Drain briefly on paper towels, then cut crosswise to create an opening large enough to stuff gorditas full of your favorite foods. Enjoy!

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Roast whole peppers over an open flame on a gas stovetop burner, turning frequently, until skins are evenly black and blistered. Transfer peppers to a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and let peppers sweat for a while; this will allow the skins to peel off easily.
  3. 3 While the peppers are sweating, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat evenly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic; cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. 4 Wear food-safe gloves if desired and remove peppers from the bag. Peel off and discard burnt skins. Run peppers under cool running water to rinse away any burnt pieces, then blot dry with a paper towel. Make a small vertical slit in the side of each pepper. Remove the seeds and veins through the slits.
  5. 5 Stuff each pepper halfway with beef mixture, then fill the rest of the way with shredded mozzarella. Close the slits and secure with toothpicks.
  6. 6 Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl until thick and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks until blended in, about 1 minute. Place flour in a shallow bowl.
