Mexican Sopes with Chorizo and Refried Beans

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, salt, and warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
2. 2 Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and flatten each into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.
3. 3 Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Cook each sope for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. 4 While the sopes are cooking, prepare the chorizo by cooking it in a separate skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crumbled.
5. 5 Once the sopes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Use your fingers to pinch up the edges, forming a small rim.
6. 6 Spread a thin layer of refried beans on each sope, then top with crumbled chorizo.
7. 7 Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and crumbled queso fresco over the chorizo layer.
8. 8 Drizzle sour cream over the top of each sope before serving.
