Method

  1. 1

    Mix the masa harina with 220ml warm water to make a soft dough, then divide into 8 balls and flatten into thick discs.

  2. 2

    Fry the discs in the sunflower oil for 2-3 minutes a side until golden, then pinch up the edges while still warm to form a rim.

  3. 3

    Mash the black beans with a splash of water and warm through.

  4. 4

    Spread the beans over each sope, then top with the shredded chicken breast and lettuce.

  5. 5

    Finish with a drizzle of soured cream and crumbled feta cheese.
