1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Chicken base
3 cups diced Yellow Onions
2 tsp. ground Cumin
2 tsp. Chili Powder
2 tsp. granulated Garlic
1/2 tsp. Cayenne pepper
2 cups Masa Harina
4 quarts Water (divided)

In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices.
Saut until onions are soft and clear, about 5 minutes In another container, combine Masa Harina with 1 quart water.
