Masa Dough

Toppings

Method

Masa Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water and vegetable oil, mixing with your hands or a spoon until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead Dough

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is soft and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water; if too wet, add a bit more masa harina.

  3. 3

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together shredded chicken, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and taco seasoning until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Form Masa Boats

    Divide the masa dough into equal portions (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each portion into a disc, then shape it into a boat by pinching the sides to create walls.

  2. 6

    Fill the Boats

    Spoon a generous portion of the filling into each masa boat, being careful not to overfill.

Cooking

  1. 7

    Cook the Boats

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the filled masa boats in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the masa boats from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and lime wedges on the side.
