Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add in water and olive oil. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring to form a dough. If you are using shredded cheese for extra flavor, fold it into the dough at this stage.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the gorditas on the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the gorditas from the skillet and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a base for your favorite toppings or fillings, such as grilled chicken, beef, vegetables, or avocado.
