7 Steps to complete
-
1In a bowl; combine corn flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while mixing until a dough begins to form. Knead dough until it has a soft and moist texture, the masa dough should not stick to the bowl or hands. Evenly divide the masa dough into 6 balls. Cover masa dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
-
2Preheat a cast iron skillet for 2 minutes over medium low heat. Remove the plastic casing from Chorizo and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, crumbling with a spoon while cooking. Add onion and garlic. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Divide into 6 equal portions. Keep warm until needed.
-
3Cut a large zip top bag along the seams to make plastic sheets. Using a plate, flatten each dough ball between the plastic sheets to form a 5-inch tortilla.
-
4Preheat a nonstick comal or skillet for 2 minutes over medium heat. Cook tortillas for 1½ minutes on each side and remove from heat. When cool enough to handle, pinch around the perimeter to create a ½-inch wall around the edge.
-
5Preheat vegetable oil in a heavy bottom pot for 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat or until oil reaches 350˚F. Fry sopes in batches for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping occasionally. Drain the sopes on paper towels or a wire rack.
-
6Top each sope with 1 portion Chorizo, 2 tablespoons Queso Fresco Cheese, lettuce, a drizzle of Sour Cream, and 1 additional tablespoon Queso Fresco Cheese. Serve with extra Supremo® Sour Cream, and the salsa of your choice. Enjoy!

7Cook’s note: there are many ways to flatten masa into tortillas. Here are two alternate methods that you can try at home. Use the same method for plastic sheets with an authentic tortilla press or lightly press and pat masa into 5-inch tortillas with your hands.
