1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of masa harina and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
2
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening to the bowl. Use your fingers to rub it into the masa mix until you achieve a crumbly texture.
3
Next, pour in 1 1/4 cups of warm water. Mix and knead with your hands until a smooth and slightly sticky dough forms. If necessary, add a bit more water to reach the correct consistency, but do so cautiously to avoid making the dough too wet.
4
Divide your dough into 8 even portions and roll each into a ball. Cover them with a damp cloth to keep them soft.
5
Instead of using a tortilla press, find a flat bottom pot or pan. Line it with plastic wrap, place a dough ball in the middle, and press down to form a 1/4 inch thick disk.
6
Heat a griddle or large pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with olive oil.
7
Add the flattened dough to the hot griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
8
While each patty is still warm, pinch the edges to form a ridge around the circle. This will create a 'boat' to hold your toppings, creating your sope shape.
SERVING
9
Top each warm sope with a tablespoon of refried beans, a spoonful of salsa, and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Enjoy your homemade sopes while they're hot!
