DIRECTIONS
For Masa Cups: HEAT oven to 350°F. Place masa flour into a medium bowl. Cut in shortening using pastry blender until pea-sized chunks are formed. Sprinkle with water, one Tbsp. at a time, tossing lightly with a fork until dough comes together to form a ball.
DIVIDE dough into 24 pieces. Roll into balls. Press into mini-muffin pans. Use a round measuring tsp. to make a well in center of each masa cup. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden. Cool completely in pans.
For Guacamole: MASH avocado in a small bowl. Add tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and garlic powder mixing to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon 1 Tbsp. guacamole into each masa cup. Garnish with 1 tsp. queso fresco and a cilantro leaf.
