Step 1
Mix masa harina with 0.75 cup warm broth and a pinch of salt until a thick dough forms, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Divide dough into 4 balls. Flatten each into a 3-inch disk on plastic wrap, then use your thumb to pinch up the edges into a shallow bowl shape.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry sopes 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high, breaking it up, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Blend chipotles with 0.25 cup water and 1 tbsp adobo sauce until smooth. Pour into beef, add diced onion, and simmer 2 minutes until glossy.
Step 6
Spoon chipotle beef onto each sope. Top with sour cream, queso fresco, and cilantro. Serve immediately.
