Steps

1

If the masa is a bit dry, add a little water to soften it. The dough should be firm and easy to handle.
2

With clean hands, take a portion of the masa and roll it into a ball. The size depends on how big you want your sope.
3

Flatten the masa ball with your hands until it looks like a tortilla, or use a tortilla press. Make sure it's a bit thick so you can form the edges of the sope.
4

Place the masa round on a hot griddle (comal) without oil, so it doesn't get too crispy or stick.
5

Flip it and check to make sure it cooks through.
6

Once cooked, remove from the heat and, using a cloth napkin, pinch the edges to form a border around the sope.
7

When all your sopes are ready, return them to the griddle and top with salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
