Step 1
Mix masa harina with 0.75 cup warm water until you have a soft, pliable dough. Rest 2 minutes.
Step 2
Warm refried beans in a small bowl or directly in a skillet over medium heat, 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Shape a golf-ball-size piece of dough into a flat disc, then pinch up the edges to form a shallow cup.
Step 4
Heat 0.5 inch oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until a small piece of dough sizzles immediately.
Step 5
Fry each masa cup 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Step 6
Fill each warm sope with beans, cheese, a drizzle of crema, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
