   In a large bowl, add the masa harina, baking powder and salt; mix.

   Heat the skillet on medium-high heat; add the oil.

   To form the disk, grab dough about the size of a lemon, form a ball and the flatten it with your palms, turning as you go to form the disk.

   Drain on a paper towel, slice in the middle and stuff with meat or beans.
