Instructions

1- Prepare the Masa:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups of Maseca corn flour with 1 1/4 cups of warm water in a large mixing bowl.
• Mix with a spoon initially, then knead with your hands until the dough is smooth and resembles Play-Doh. Add water in small increments if necessary.

2- Form the Sopes Discs:

• Roll a small portion of the masa into a ball.
• Place the masa ball inside a resealable plastic bag and flatten using a wooden rolling pin into a thick tortilla.

3- Initial Cooking:

• Heat a frying pan or skillet. Place the flattened masa onto the hot surface.
• Cook briefly on each side until slightly cooked without browning.

4- Shape the Sopes:

• Remove the masa from the pan, immediately pinching and shaping a raised border around the edges while still warm.

5- Deep Fry the Sopes:

• Heat a pot with oil to medium-high heat. Fry the sopes until golden brown and firm.
• Drain on paper towels.

6- Assemble the Sopes:

• Spread refried beans on each sope.
• Top with shredded cheese, followed by shredded chicken or beef, and shredded lettuce.
• Add guacamole, sliced tomatoes, and pickled onions.
