  1. Prep lettuce, cut limes, avocado, squeeze lime over avocado slices.
  2. In a large pan over medium heat add about 1 tbsp oil then add in your vegan shredded chik’n, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for 6-10 minutes until cook and slightly charred.

For the homemade sopes: 

  1. In a bowl combine the corn masa flour and salt. Mix then add in water in thirds, mixing with a wooden spoon in between. Then once all the water is in, get in there with your hands and form dough. Take a golf ball size and roll in between hands then flatten to make a disk about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Get a large pan over medium high heat. Cook it quickly for about 1 min on each side. Remove from heat, let cook for a couple seconds then using your fingers create the sopes by creating edges. then continue with the remaining masa. Once they're all made add enough oil to the pan to cover the bottom and pan fry your sopes on both sides for about 1 minute until golden.

Throw it all together:

  1. Smother beans on each sopé, then add vegan chik'n, then lettuce, crema, salsa, avocado, cilantro, squeeze of lime!
