Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Masa harina (corn flour)
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Refried beans
- 0.5 cup Salsa verde or roja
- 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Diced onion
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix until a smooth and pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water a tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a thick disc about 3 inches in diameter.
Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook each disc for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly golden and cooked through.
While the discs are still warm, pinch the edges upward to form a rim. This will create the characteristic sope shape, which will hold the toppings. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry each sope for 1-2 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan.
Top each sope with a thin layer of refried beans, followed by a spoonful of salsa, crumbled queso fresco, shredded lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.
