These homemade gorditas offer a delightful, high-protein twist on traditional Mexican street food. By using a clever muffin tin technique, the golden cornmeal dough is transformed into crisp, savoury cups that are perfect for holding a variety of delicious fillings. The combination of creamed corn and melted cheese ensures a rich flavour and a satisfying texture that pairs beautifully with fresh toppings.
This versatile dish is an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek dinner or an impressive party snack. You can customise each cup with shredded rotisserie chicken, seasoned black beans, or a dollop of cool soured cream and zesty guacamole. Packed with protein and naturally satisfying, these corn cups are a wholesome way to enjoy vibrant, Mexican-inspired flavours at home.

Ingredients for Gorditas
1 8.700g can creamed corn
1/2 teaspoons salt
150g cornmeal
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
110g queso añejo (or Jack cheese)
Shredded rotisserie chicken (or cooked pork), beans, shredded lettuce, extra cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced radish, soured cream, guacamole
How to make Gorditas
Preheat oven to 204°C.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, salt, and 120ml water. Whisk in the cornmeal and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Add the butter and cheese, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Divide the corn mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create cups.
Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn the corn cups out of the tin.
Stuff them with the fillings of your choice and serve.
