1. 1

   Place masa, flour, shortening, and salt in a bowl, and mix until smooth.

   Shape dough into balls the size of large walnuts, then pat each one between moistened palms of hands until they are the size of small pancakes (about 3 inches across).

3. 3

   Cook on both sides in an ungreased heavy skillet.

4. 4

   While still hot, pinch up edges between thumb and fingers to form a border, and pinch up a small amount in the center so that they look like sombreros.

   Set aside until ready to serve, and make the sauce.

   Sauce: Place all ingredients in a saucepan, stir to combine well, and simmer over moderate heat for about 20 minutes, or until onion is cooked and sauce thoroughly blended.

7. 7

   Serve cold.

8. 8

   Just before serving, fry cakes in hot oil until golden brown and drain on absorbent paper.

   Arrange on a large serving platter and fill brim of each little hat with fried chorizo.

    Sprinkle generously with grated cheese and pile shredded lettuce on top.

    Pour a little cold sauce over each one and serve with radish rings and refried beans.
