Sopes
A sope is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a masa base with savory toppings.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 cup masa harina (corn flour)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup canned chicken broth
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- ½ cup roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped poblano peppers (about 2 medium peppers)
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 2 tablespoons chorizo
- ⅓ cup canned fat free refried beans
- ¼ cup Queso Fresco cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F, and line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- Stir together masa and baking powder; then stir in chicken broth, adding a little more broth if dough is too dry. (It should be very moist, but not sticky)
- Quickly shape dough into four circles that are 3-inches wide with a ½-inch rim. Place on baking sheet.
- Spray the dough heavily with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven and spray two or three times more during cooking to make them crisp.
- While sopes are cooking, spray a small skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in peppers, tomato, and chorizo and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Spoon a heaping tablespoon of beans onto each sope then top with equal amounts of vegetable mixture. Sprinkle each with a tablespoon of cheese and bake for 5 more minutes.
