INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Masa Dough for Antojitos salad oil, shortening, or lard for frying about 1/2 pound chorizo sausages
3/4 cup shredded lettuce 1/4 cup shredded jack cheese 2 tablespoons chopped onion



1 For each Gordita base, shape about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the Masa Dough for Antojitos into a flat round cake 4 inches in diameter.
2 Bake on a medium-hot ungreased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until masa begins to lose its doughy look. Remove cake from heat and let cool until you can touch it. With your fingers, pinch a slight ridge around the edge of the cake to form a very shallow cup. You can do this ahead.
3 Fry in about 1/2 inch hot oil over medium heat until lightly browned. Do not turn; ladle hot fat into cake to cook top. Drain on paper towels.
4 Remove casings from sausages, crumble the meat, and brown it in a frying pan. Drain off excess fat. Fill each base with about 1-1/2 tablespoons of the meat. Sprinkle each with about 1 tablespoon lettuce, 2 teaspoons cheese, and about 1/2 teaspoon onion.
