Directions:
Using your KitchenAid mixer, whip 2 cups of shortening until fluffy. Add masa, salt, baking powder (if needed), chili powder, and 2-3 cups chicken broth. Whip for several minutes until a drop of the masa floats in a cup of water.

Make sure you are covering the smooth side of your oja with masa. Starting at the very top of oja (moving toward bottom), apply a thin layer of masa. Leave bottom ⅓ of the oja bare. Place filling on side and roll oja. Fold the bottom 1/3 up over the filled part of oja.
