Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 cups masa harina corn flour, 2 ¾ cups warm water, and 1 teaspoon salt to form a dough.
Scoop out a large 3-inch ball of dough. Flatten the dough and put in 1 tablespoon of the 1 cup refried beans and sprinkle with a few tablespoons of the 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the ends up together to enclose the beans and cheese. Flatten to ¼-inch thick.
Place in a skillet and cook each side until golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Serve with coleslaw, salsa, or desired side dish.
