For the gorditas
 8 ¼ oz can of creamed corn
 ½ tsp salt
 1 tbsp unsalted butter
 ½ cup añejo or jack cheese
Filling:
 Shredded chicken, or pork; beans, shredded lettuce, extra cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced radish, sour cream, guacamole
1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, salt, and 1/2 cup 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.

5

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.
