Mix corn masa, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into small balls about the size of a golf ball.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Flatten each ball of dough into a disc using a tortilla press or rolling pin.

Fry each disc in hot oil until puffed and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the tacos and drain on paper towels.

In a separate skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion and garlic over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the beef mixture with cumin and chili powder; stir to combine.

Fill each puffed taco with the beef mixture, lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

Top with sour cream and salsa before serving.
