For the dough: Add the corn dough, a little salt, and water in a bowl. Knead until combined, form a ball, press to make a small indentation, and fill with Oaxaca cheese. Then, wrap with the same dough to close the gordita and flatten until you achieve a thickness of 1 cm. Set aside. Fry the cheese gorditas in a skillet with enough oil for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Place the gorditas on paper towels to remove excess oil.
