Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cook the sopes on a hot dry pan for 2 minutes per side, until golden.
  4. Reheat the beans with a pinch of cumin, then spread them over each sope.
  5. Add the chicken or pork, lettuce, finely chopped tomatoes and onion, then the jalapeño.
  6. 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.
