Serves: 12
1. Make the masa dough (tortilla dough) and roll into approximately golf-ball-size pieces. Flatten each ball to about 2 1/2 inches. Using thumbs and fingers, pinch up the edges all around and form into shallow bowls about 3/4 inch deep. Place the formed shells on a baking sheet, dusted with flour. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying out while preparing the mushroom filling.
2. In a heavy medium skillet, pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches. When the oil shimmers, fry the shells, in batches, on both sides until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Fill the shells with the mushroom mixture while still hot. Sprinkle the tops with chopped epazote leaves or cilantro, if desired, and serve at once.
