Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Ready Time: 25 mins


• 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.
