Ingredients

• 2 cups Cassava flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Avocado oil
• 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
• 1 cup Homemade salsa
• 1 large Diced avocado
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 whole Fresh lime

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, and sea salt.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. It should not stick to your hands but should hold together well.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 4

Flatten each ball into a disk about 3-4 inches in diameter and roughly 1/3 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the disks into the skillet, working in batches if needed, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly golden. Remove from heat.

Step 7

While the sopes are still warm, use your fingers or the edge of a spoon to pinch up the edges of each disk, creating a small rim around the edge.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Place the sopes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, and allow them to cool slightly before adding toppings.

Step 11

Fill each sope with the cooked shredded chicken, then top with a spoonful of homemade salsa and diced avocado.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your grain-free Paleo sopes!
