Step 1
Mix masa harina with 1.5 cups warm water and a pinch of salt until a soft, pliable dough forms.
Step 2
Toss shredded pork with salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Warm pork in the skillet, stirring, until edges crisp and it's heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Step 4
Divide masa into 8 balls. Flatten each between plastic or parchment into a thick disk, 3 inches wide.
Step 5
Pan-fry gorditas in the same skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides, 2 minutes per side.
Step 6
Slice each gordita open, fill with warm pork, drizzle crema, top with quick-pickled red onions and jalapeño.
