Mix masa harina, water, and salt together until it forms into a soft ball. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water a tablespoon at a time. Divide dough into 16 equal balls, and press out with a tortilla press or roll out with a rolling pin. Keep pressed discs covered with a damp cloth. Heat up two inches of oil in a pot or skillet to 350 degrees. Gently place a disc in the hot oil and it should immediately start to puff. After five seconds, with a spatula, make an indention in the center so it forms a V shape. Gently cook the shell on each side until light brown and crispy (about 20 seconds for each side). Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel.
