Dinner Tonight: Sopes Recipe
- 1 cups masa harina
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cups water
- Black beans
- Roast pork
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Canola oil
- Mix together the masa, salt, and water with your hands until it forms a smooth ball. Add more water if it's too dry and not coming together. Divide into 8 balls.
- Place a ball in between two 6 inch square pieces of plastic wrap. Flatten with a tortilla press or with a large pot, until about 1/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Fold up the sides to create a 1/2 inch or so edge all the way around. Repeat with the other balls.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat. When it's hot, place one sope in the skillet at a time, flat side down, for about a minute until the bottom firms up. Repeat with the other balls.
- Pour about 1/2 inch of the canola oil into a small pot. Heat to 350u0b0F. Prick the inside of the sopes a few times with fork. When ready, place one sope in the pot and cook until it browns, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain upside down. Repeat with the other sopes.
- Fill with your favorite taco accessories. I had some black beans, roast pork, salsa, and sour cream. Something as simple as guacamole would work wonderfully too.
