| Step 1 |
Hydrate the tortilla flour according to the instructions to create a firm dough. |
| Step 2 |
Divide the masa into 8-10 balls. Gently press them to form half-inch thick disks |
| Step 3 |
Place a flat griddle or “comal” over high heat. |
| Step 4 |
Cook the masa disks for one minute on each side and remove from heat. |
| Step 5 |
Once cooled until manageable (around one minute), pinch the edges to give the sopes their final casserole shape. |
| Step 6 |
Add the lard or cooking oil into the griddle and gently fry the shaped sopes for a few seconds on each side. |
| Step 7 |
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 8 |
Coat with queso fresco or grated cheese, shredded lettuce and nopalitos. Serve immediately and enjoy! |
