Ingredients for Sopes
Method
Instructions for Making Sopes
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
- 2
Shape the Sopes
Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball into a small disc (about 1/2 inch thick). Use your fingers to pinch the edges to create a small border around each disc.

Cook the Sopes
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little vegetable oil. Cook each sope for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown.

Assemble the Sopes
