Instructions
For the crust
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a bowl mix together masa harina, salt, garlic powder, and cumin until combined. Pour the hot water on top of the powders.
Stir the ingredients until it is fully combined. The dough should come together and be soft like cookie dough. If the dough seems to be sticky or wet, add in a tablespoon more masa flour at a time until the batter is no longer sticky.
Transfer the dough into a 9" pie dish. Pat the dough into an even layer. You can use the bottom of a cup to help press the dough evenly. Work the dough up the sides and edges of the pie dish. Even out the top edges of the dough. Prick the dough with a fork to prevent the dough from puffing up while it bakes. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil if the edges start to dry out while it bakes.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 min or until dough is baked through.
For the filling
Add oil to a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add ground beef and heat until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
