Instructions
Make the gorditas:
* Add 2 cups of the flour to a bowl and pour
the boiling water over it. Stir until smooth and
cover with saran wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes.
* In a separate bowl whisk together the
remaining 1 and 1/4 cups of flour with the salt
and yeast. Add the oil but don't worry about mixing it in.
* Add this to the flour and knead by hand 2 -
3 minutes on a lightly oiled surface. Alternately
you can use a stand mixer or bread machine for 2
- 3 minutes. The dough should be a little sticky
- if it's too sticky knead in a little bit of flour.
* Lightly grease a bowl, add the dough, cover
with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place 1 hour.
* Then divide the dough into 8 pieces about 3
ounces each. Cover them and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes longer.
* Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over
medium heat. Roll each piece into a 7"- to 8"-circle or pat them out by hand.
* Cook them in the dry skillet 1 - 2 minutes
per side or until they are spotted with brown
spots. If you find them sticking lightly grease
the pan with oil and adjust the heat as needed if
they're browning too quickly or not quickly
enough. You can keep them warm in a very low oven
on a baking sheet. Cover with foil to keep them from drying out.
* Meanwhile cook the ground beef with the
taco seasoning according to the directions on the package.
* Fill the warm gorditas with taco meat and your choice of fixin's.
