Ingredients
Preparation Method
Mix the three ingredients well with your hands, kneading until you have a smooth, uniform dough. Shape the dough into 5 cm diameter balls ("testales") and let them rest, covered with plastic, for half an hour. Shape the dough into thick, 1 cm gorditas with your hands. The gorditas are cooked just like tortillas, on a hot griddle, but they take a bit longer due to their thickness. Place the gordita on the griddle and wait for it to cook on one side—when the edges start to change color, flip it with a spatula and let it cook on the other side. Flip it again, and the gordita should puff up, similar to a tortilla but less noticeably. Remove from the griddle and open it with a spatula or knife.

Preparation
Place the filling in the thickest part of the gordita and close it. Serve hot with your favorite salsas and freshly cooked beans.
