Multicolored Salsa and Bean Sopes with Nopalito

Recipe Ingredients

Step 1:

Hydrate the tortilla flour according to the instructions to create a firm dough. Divide the masa into 8-10 balls. Gently press them to form half-inch thick disks. 

Step 2:

Place a flat griddle or “comal” over high heat. Cook the masa disks for one minute on each side and remove from heat.

Step 3:

Once cooled until manageable (around one minute), pinch the edges to give the sopes their final casserole shape. Add the lard or cooking oil into the griddle and gently fry the shaped sopes for a few seconds on each side.

Step 4:

While still warm, spread the refried beans on the sopes. Drizzle half the sopes with green salsa and the other half with red salsa.

Step 5:

Coat with queso fresco or grated cheese, shredded lettuce and nopalitos. Serve immediately and enjoy!
