Ingredients

• 2 cups masa harina
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cups refried beans (vegan)
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
• 0.5 cups salsa
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the masa harina, stirring with a spoon until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough with your hands until smooth and pliable, about 2-3 minutes. If the dough feels dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Flatten each ball into a thick, round disk about 3-4 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each sope for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.

Step 7

While still warm, pinch up the edges of each sope to form a rim. This will help hold the toppings.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the sopes until crisp, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Spread a layer of warm vegan refried beans onto each sope.

Step 10

Top with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of salsa.

Step 11

Serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
