1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the corn masa, water, and salt. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky. If it feels too dry, add a little more water.
2
Shape the Sopes
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/2 inch thick. Use your fingers to pinch the edges of each disc to form a raised border, creating a little 'bowl' for the toppings.
3
Cook the Sopes
Heat a skillet or comal over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the shaped sopes on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they start to get golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4
Top with Ingredients
Once the sopes have cooled, begin to assemble. Start by adding a layer of shredded lettuce to each sope.
5
Add Radishes and Crema
Next, add a handful of thinly sliced radishes on top of the lettuce. Drizzle with crema to add richness.
6
Sprinkle Queso Fresco
Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco over the top for a tangy flavor.
7
Finish with Salsa Verde
Finally, spoon salsa verde over each sope, adding a fresh and zesty finish.
