Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups corn flour masa harina
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cups warm water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Combine the corn flour with the salt and then pour in the warm water slowly.
  • Knead for 5 minutes or until you have a soft dough.
  • If it cracks easily, you can add another tablespoon and knead again, repeating if needed.
  • If it sticks to your hands, add a little more corn flour.
  • Divide the dough into 12 x 2-inch balls and cover them with a damp cloth so they don’t dry out.
  • Leave them for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a cast iron griddle, comal or heavy pot over a moderate heat.
  • Put the dough on a tortilla press between parchment paper squares, then fold the handle and press to make a ¼-inch to ½-inch thick disk.
  • Cook for 1 minute per side on the preheated griddle and then transfer to a plate and shape the sope using your fingers.
  • Repeat with the rest.
  • Brush with oil and cook at 375°F for 10 minutes or until firm and slightly golden at the edges.
  • Add your preferred toppings and serve hot.
