Pita Pockets

INGREDIENTS

one cup masa harina (instant corn masa mix)
one cup all-purpose flour
one teaspoon salt
one tablespoon shortening
one cup hot water
one cup oil for fryin

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina, salt and hot water. Gradually mix in the shortening and flour. If the dough seems dry, add a little more hot water. Form the dough into balls that will fit into the palm of your hand. Line a work surface with waxed paper or plastic. Sprinkle with water. Flatten balls on the wet surface until about quarter inch thick.

Heat a griddle or comal over medium fire. Cook the gorditas on each side until they are cooked through. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat till hot. Fry each gordita until puffed, pressing it down into the oil occasionally with a spatula. Drain briefly on paper towels, cut the tips off and stuff full of your favorite foods.
