Step 1
Heat 1/4 inch neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Divide masa into 8 balls and gently press into shallow cups (2 to 3 inches across, thin walls). Fry 2 to 3 minutes per side until edges are golden and crispy.
Step 3
Remove sopes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, tilting to release excess oil.
Step 4
Combine shredded beef, diced tomatoes with chiles, minced chipotle, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Stir until warm throughout.
Step 5
Divide beef mixture among sopes. Top each with a dollop of crema, minced onion, and crumbled cheese. Serve immediately.
