Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cups refried beans (vegan)
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
- 0.5 cups salsa
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt.
Gradually add warm water to the masa harina, stirring with a spoon until a dough forms.
Knead the dough with your hands until smooth and pliable, about 2-3 minutes. If the dough feels dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Flatten each ball into a thick, round disk about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each sope for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
While still warm, pinch up the edges of each sope to form a rim. This will help hold the toppings.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the sopes until crisp, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
Spread a layer of warm vegan refried beans onto each sope.
Top with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of salsa.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
