Ingredients
  1. 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  2. 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  3. 1/2 lb black beans cooked and pureed (use cooking water to thin if necessary)
  4. 2 bunches cilantro, minced (I include some stems)
  5. 2 6 inch stems of mint leaves, minced
  6. 1/4 cup Mexican or Central American Creme
  7. 1-2 limes juiced
  8. 6 small flavorful tomatoes, diced
  9. 2-3 cups Masa Harina
  10. 1 cup water plus
  11. 1.5 cups queso fresco
  12. Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. To make the masa: Start out with 2-3 cups of masa flour in a large bowl.
  2. Add about 1 cup cold water and begin to mix by hand.
  3. Add more cold water as needed to form a ball of dough that is soft but does not stick to your hands.
  4. To make Chimol: In a medium size bowl combine cilantro, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, mint, and lime juice.
  5. Toss ingredients with a spoon until well combined and salt to taste.
  6. To fry sopes: Heat a large cast iron skillet on low-med heat.
  7. Add Grapeseed oil or lard to skillet and allow to heat.
  8. Form masa into bite sized discs about 3/8" thick.
  9. Fry until golden on both sides.
  10. Transfer to a half sheet pan.
  11. To assemble: spread refried beans, then crema over, grated queso seco, and top with chimol. Transfer to platter and serve while still warm.
Notes
  1. A small offset icing spatula is perfect for setting up the sopes. And as usual a line cook spatula makes flipping sopes really easy. The number of sopes this recipe makes depends on the size of the disk you make.
