Directions
- Mix the masa harina, 1 1/4 cups of the water, shortening and salt in a medium bowl. Knead to form a soft, but not sticky dough. Form into 2-inch diameter dough roll. Cut into 12 slices. Cover with damp paper towels to keep from drying out.
- With slightly damp hands, work each piece of dough into a smooth disk, about 3 inches in diameter, building up the edges to form a 1/4-inch rim. Transfer to a large cookie sheet with a spatula; cover with damp paper towels as you work.
- Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook for 3 minutes or until translucent, stirring frequently. Add the ground beef; cook for 7 to 9 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring and breaking up the beef. Drain if necessary. Stir in the salsa and cilantro. Set aside and keep warm.
- Add enough vegetable oil to a 10-inch skillet to reach 1-inch depth. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to about 375°F. Add the masa shells to the oil, 3 at a time, turning so the rim side is down. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the shells over and cook for 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Repeat until all of the shells are cooked.
- Spread each shell with a heaping teaspoon of the beans. Top the beans with a heaping tablespoon of the ground beef mixture. Top with a few shreds of lettuce and a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot.
