Sopes de Frijoles

Ingredients

• 2 cups masa harina
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups refried beans
• 1 cup lettuce
• 1 cup crema
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of masa harina and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.

2. 2

   Gradually add 1 cup of water to the masa harina mixture, mixing with your hands until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water, one tablespoon at a time.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a thick round, about 1/2 inch thick.

4. 4

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook each masa round for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are lightly browned and cooked through.

5. 5

   Remove the cooked masa rounds from the skillet and use your fingers to pinch the edges, creating a small border around each round.

6. 6

   Spread about 1/4 cup of refried beans on each masa round, filling the center.

7. 7

   Top the refried beans with shredded lettuce, a drizzle of crema, and a spoonful of salsa.

8. 8

   Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the assembled sopes.

9. 9

   Serve immediately while warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
