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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add in water and olive oil. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the gorditas on the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the gorditas from the skillet and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as a base for your favorite toppings or fillings, such as grilled chicken, beef, vegetables, or avocado.
