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.

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.

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.

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