Mexican Sopes
Wow your guests with authentic, homemade Mexican sopes! These sopes will go great with carnitas or braised chicken and will have all the members of your family asking for seconds.
Ingredients
- 3 cups masa harina
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 cups warm water, or as needed
- 1 quart oil for frying
Directions
- Whisk masa harina and salt together; stir enough water into mixture until dough is smooth and holds together. Form dough into 2-inch balls. Flatten each ball to a 1/2-inch thick circle.
- Heat oil to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or large saucepan.
- Fry dough in the hot oil until sopes are just lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. Remove sopes with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate; cool just until sopes can be handled. Pinch the edges of each sope together forming little ‘boats’. Return to hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.
