Step 1
Mix masa harina with 1 cup warm water and a pinch of salt until it forms a soft, Play-Doh-like dough.
Step 2
Divide dough into 6 portions. Press each between plastic wrap into a thin disc, then pinch edges up to form a shallow cup.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry each masa cup until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Step 4
In the same skillet, brown beef over high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, 4–5 minutes. Chop chipotles, add to beef with 2 tbsp adobo sauce, and stir 30 seconds.
Step 5
Toss red onion with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let sit while beef finishes.
Step 6
Fill each masa cup with chipotle beef, top with crema and pickled onions. Serve hot.
