Directions
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! |
