Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup masa harina with 0.75 cup water and a pinch of salt until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add water 1 tbsp at a time.
Step 2
Divide dough into 4 balls. Press each into a 4-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick, using a tortilla press or your hands.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a skillet over medium. Cook the sopes until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
While sopes cook, dice 2 tomatoes and 0.5 small onion. Mix with a pinch of salt to make a fresh salsa.
Step 5
Top each sope with 0.5 cup shredded chicken, then spoon the tomato salsa over.
Step 6
Crumble 0.5 cup cotija cheese over the top and drizzle with 0.25 cup crema. Serve warm.
Step 7
Optional: add chopped cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness.
