Sopesitos

Method

Preparation of Sopesitos

  1. 1

    Make the Sopesitos

    In a mixing bowl, combine heirloom corn masa, water, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

  2. 2

    Shape the Sopesitos

    Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick. Use your fingers to create a small rim around the edges of each disc to hold the toppings.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sopesitos

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Smoked Brisket

    Shred the smoked brisket into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  2. 5

    Make the Aerated Avocado

    In a blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and aerated. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sopesitos

    Top each sope with a generous spoonful of miltomate salsa, followed by shredded smoked brisket, dollops of requeson, and finally the aerated avocado.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
