Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Masa harina
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Refried beans (dairy-free)
- 1 cup Cooked and shredded chicken (optional)
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Diced red onion
- 1 whole Avocado slices
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the masa harina and salt together.
Gradually add the warm water to the masa harina while mixing until a soft and pliable dough forms. The dough should not be sticky. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball gently with your hands or a tortilla press to form a disc about 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook each masa disc for about 2 minutes on each side until lightly toasted.
Once toasted, remove the masa disc from the skillet and, while warm, pinch the edges upwards to create a shallow 'bowl' shape. This will form the sides of the sope.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each sope for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side until golden and slightly crispy. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Spread a thin layer of dairy-free refried beans on the base of each sope.
Add your desired toppings such as shredded chicken, lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and salsa.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
