Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cassava flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 4 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Homemade salsa
- 1 large Diced avocado
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 whole Fresh lime
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, and sea salt.
Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. It should not stick to your hands but should hold together well.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a disk about 3-4 inches in diameter and roughly 1/3 inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Place the disks into the skillet, working in batches if needed, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly golden. Remove from heat.
While the sopes are still warm, use your fingers or the edge of a spoon to pinch up the edges of each disk, creating a small rim around the edge.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the sopes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes to firm up slightly.
Remove from the oven, and allow them to cool slightly before adding toppings.
Fill each sope with the cooked shredded chicken, then top with a spoonful of homemade salsa and diced avocado.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your grain-free Paleo sopes!
