What to do with Baked Potatoes?

This is a recipe for Gordita filling.  My husband loves Mexican food.  Gorditas are really easy to make and they're a neat treat for your family.  To make the gordita shell, you'll need to buy Corn Masa Mix from your grocery store.  I found it at Aldi's, but you can find it at almost any store.  Follow the directions on the bag for gordita or tortilla shells.   In case there aren't directions, you're going to want to mix equal parts of water and mix to make a dough.  Heat up a skillet with oil.  Make dough into balls and flatten out.  Fry dough in your pan until both sides are golden brown.  Fresh gorditas are the best!  You'll never want to go back to Taco Bell :)

Here's a recipe for a potato filling to top your shells with.  This recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people.  This is a mild filling, spice it up with red pepper flakes and jalepenos if your family likes spicy.  Enjoy!

Potato Gordita Filling
Ingredients:
5 to 6 Baked Potatoes
1 Lb Ground Turkey
1& 1/2 TBSP Dried Cilantro
1 TBSP Cumin
1 TSP Onion Powder
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Monterey Jack Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste.

1. Chop up potatoes into small chunks.  Brown ground turkey in a large frying pan.  When brown, add olive oil and potatoes. (I leave some of the skin on the potatoes.)
2. Add spices, water and cheese.  Cook until turkey is completely finished, cheese is melted and potatoes have become soft.  Add water while cooking if your filling becomes to dry!
3. Spread filling on Gordita shells and top with lettuce, tomatoes and salsa.
