Instructions
- Mix the masa, salt and oil in a bowl, then gradually pour in the warm water while kneading until you get a soft dough that doesn't stick.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls, then shape each one into a disc about 1 cm thick, pinching all around the edge to form a small rim.
- Cook the sopes on a hot dry pan for 2 minutes per side, until golden.
- Reheat the beans with a pinch of cumin, then spread them over each sope.
- Add the chicken or pork, lettuce, finely chopped tomatoes and onion, then the jalapeño.
- Finish with the crumbled cheese, sour cream and coriander, and serve straight away.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian. Replace the meat with mushrooms sautéed with garlic and a little chili.
