Step 1
Mix masa harina with warm water until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes of stirring. Let it rest 3 minutes.
Step 2
Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Flatten each between two plastic sheets (or plastic bags) into a 3-inch round, then pinch up the edges to form a shallow cup.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds. Slide 3 sopes into the pan.
Step 4
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining sopes.
Step 5
Spoon warm refried beans into each crispy sope, then top with queso fresco, jalapeños, and cilantro.
Step 6
Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
