1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
2
Shape the Sopes
Divide the dough into 8 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 of each disc to create a raised border.

3
Cook the Base
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each sope for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

4
Add Toppings
Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans onto each sope. Top with shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of sour cream. Finish with a spoonful of salsa on top.
