Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups masa harina
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 cup refried beans canned or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded cheese such as queso fresco or cheddar
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky. If too dry, add a little more water; if too wet, add a bit more masa harina.
  2. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a thick disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each disc for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully fry each cooked disc for about 1 minute on each side until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Spread a layer of refried beans on each crispy sope. Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and cilantro.
  6. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with ground cumin. Drizzle over the topped sopes before serving.
