First, knead the masa harina with a splash of water.

Once kneaded, form a ball of dough that is not too big or too small.

Place the ball in a tortilla press and flatten it so it's not too thick or too thin.

On a preheated griddle (comal), cook the tortilla over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes on each side.

Remove the cooked tortilla from the griddle and pinch the edges outward all around, then pinch the center slightly to form a rim.

Repeat these steps until all the dough is used.

Once the sopes are formed, heat some vegetable oil in a pan (enough to lightly fry, but not too much).

When the oil is hot, fry each sope on both sides to your desired crispiness.

Once golden, remove and drain on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Place the sopes on a plate, spread refried beans on top, add lettuce, cheese, and salsa if you like.

Enjoy!
