Method
Making the Sopes Base
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky.
- 2
Shape the Sopes
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/2 inch thick. Use your fingers to pinch the edges to create a small lip around each disc.

Add Fresh Toppings
Sprinkle diced tomatoes over the cheese, then drizzle with sour cream. Add a dollop of salsa to each sope.

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice it into thin pieces and arrange them on top of the sopes.
