I had never made these before, but I was really craving them, so I decided to try making them for the first time and they turned out delicious.

Steps

40 minutes

1

Start by making the dough, just like for gorditas or tortillas. Combine the 2 cups of Maseca, salt, and gradually add water until you get the right consistency. (I explain this better in my gorditas recipe.)
2

Let the dough rest while you prepare the pork cracklings. I keep it simple: since I already have the salsa ready, I heat it up, then add the bagged pork cracklings.
3

Chop the tomatoes, onion, and lettuce. You can also add shredded cheese if you like.
4

To shape the sopes, if you don't have a tortilla press, use a Ziploc bag cut in half and a bottle or glass to flatten the dough balls. Press them and place on a hot griddle (comal) with a little oil.
5

Flip them when cooked on one side and let them cook through. Once done, remove, pinch the edges to form a rim, and cook again briefly to finish.
6

Once ready, top with the pork cracklings, lettuce, tomato, onion, crema, and cheese if you like. Enjoy!
