Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/3 cups warm water
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast

- Working between two sheets of plastic wrap, press four balls into 3-1/2-in. circles. On an ungreased griddle, cook dough circles over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly set. Turn and cook 2 minutes longer.

- To assemble, layer each sope with refried beans, chicken mixture and remaining salsa. Sprinkle with lettuce and queso fresco. Serve immediately.
