Pizza and Turkish flatbreads
Sopes are a colorful Mexican snack made from small, thick masa harina bases shaped like boats by pinching up the edges, then topped with mashed beans, cheese, and charred vegetables. Preparing the toppings separately takes time, but the dish is ideal for a gathering.
Mix the masa harina with the salt. Gradually add the hot water and knead to form a dough. Divide it into 8 equal balls and let them rest for 15 minutes.
Flatten each ball into a disc about 1 cm thick. Lightly cook both sides in a dry skillet for 2 minutes, then pinch the edges upward with your fingers to form a boat.
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet. Fry the masa boats for 6–7 minutes, until the bottoms are golden and crisp.
Fill the fried shells with mashed red beans. Top with the onion, tomato, crumbled white cheese, and lettuce, then serve immediately.
Keep the edges of the masa boats at least 1 cm thick; thinner edges may crack while frying. Contains milk and dairy products.
