  • In a bowl, mix the corn masa, wheat flour, and salt. Gradually pour the water to hydrate the dough.
  • Divide the dough into portions, place in a tortilla press with a plastic bag and flatten. The tortilla should be slightly thicker than a regular tortilla. Flatten the edges with your fingers.
  • Fry the gorditas in a pan with enough oil over medium-high heat and submerge them to make them puff up. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until cooked and slightly golden. Remove the Veracruz-style gorditas and place them on a plate with absorbent paper.
