Ingredients
- 2 cups corn masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 cup black beans
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 medium avocado
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup fresh salsa
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the corn masa harina with salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
Step 2
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc approximately 4 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Step 4
Cook each gordita for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden and cooked through. The gorditas should puff up slightly when done.
Step 5
While the gorditas are cooking, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
In another bowl, combine the black beans, chopped cilantro, and a little more lime juice.
Step 7
Once the gorditas are cooked, slice them open slightly with a knife to create a pocket.
Step 8
Fill each gordita with a spoonful of mashed avocado, black bean mixture, a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt, and a spoonful of fresh salsa.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy low-fat corn gorditas!
