Beef Topping

Method

Prepare Masa Boats

  1. 1

    Mix Masa Dough

    In a large bowl, combine masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 2

    Form Sopes

    Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten to form small discs about 4 inches wide and 0.5 inches thick. Create a slight rim around the edges to hold the toppings.

  3. 3

    Cook Sopes

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

Prepare Chicken Topping

  1. 4

    Combine Chicken and Mole

    In a saucepan, heat the cooked shredded chicken over medium heat. Stir in the mole sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.

  2. 5

    Prepare Queso

    Crumble queso fresco and set aside for topping.

Prepare Beef Topping

  1. 6

    Heat Ground Beef

    In a skillet, reheat the cooked ground beef over medium heat until warmed through.

  2. 7

    Prepare Queso Dip

    Warm the queso dip in a small pot over low heat until melted and smooth.

  3. 8

    Chop Cilantro

    Finely chop the cilantro and set aside for garnish.

Assemble Sopes

  1. 9

    Top Sopes

    On two of the masa boats, spoon the chicken and mole mixture, then sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. On the other two, add the ground beef and drizzle with warm queso dip. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve the sopes warm and enjoy!
