Ingredients
2 lbs ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
¼ white onion, finely chopped
2 Cups Maseca (corn flour)
2 Cups warm water
1 pinch of salt
Oil for frying
For Serving:
Refried beans
Chopped lettuce
Mexican crema
Crumbled queso fresco
Salsa to taste
Instructions
Cook the meat: In a skillet with a little oil, add the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, and Spanglish Asadero All Purpose Seasoning. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and onion. Mix, cover, and let cook for 8 minutes.
Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix the Maseca, pinch of salt, and warm water. Knead well for about 5 minutes until smooth and workable.
Form the sopes: Take a portion of dough, shape it into a small tortilla, and cook it on a griddle for 1 minute on each side. Remove, and while still warm, pinch the edges with your fingers to form the sope shape.
Fry: Heat oil in a skillet and fry the sopes until golden.
Serve: Spread a layer of refried beans, add the ground beef, and top with lettuce, crema, queso fresco, and salsa to taste.
