Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Homemade thick tortilla prepared with fried beans, lettuce, white cheese, Mexican cream, and green or red hot sauce on the side, choice of your favorite meat.

In a large bowl, combine masa harina, water, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time.

Prepare the Dough

Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball into a thick disc, about 1/2 inch thick. Use your fingers to pinch the edges to create a small raised border around each disc.

Shape the Sopes

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each sope for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Sopes

Spread a generous layer of refried beans on each sope. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled cheese, and a drizzle of Mexican cream. Add your choice of cooked meat if desired.

Assemble the Sopes

Serve the sopes warm with hot sauce on the side for drizzling.
