Easy Mexican Sopes
135kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups instant corn masa flour
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1-1/2 cups refried beans
- 2 grilled chicken breasts sliced thin
- 1 cup tomatoes chopped (I used Roma)
- 1 large red onion chopped
- 2 cups chopped green leaf lettuce about 5 leaves
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Start by measuring the masa into a medium bowl. Add the water and use a fork to mix it into a thick dough. The dough should feel soft and spongy.
- Divide the masa into 20 portions and roll the masa into balls. Press the dough with your hands to form small thick patties, about 3 inches across.
- Heat a large skillet on high, DO NOT ADD THE OIL YET, and cook each patty for 1 - 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Immediately after cooking the patties, use your hands to press around the edges of the patties to form a rim about 1/4 inch high. Be careful doing this because the dough patties will be very HOT! While you are doing this, keep the sopes warm by covering them with a cloth.
- Heat the oil in the skillet and fry the sopes until golden. Remove and drain on paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Spread a tablespoon of refried beans on each sope. Then top with the sliced chicken, cheese, tomato, onion, lettuce and sour cream. Serve warm!
