Chorizo Sopes with Refried Beans

Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up, 7-8 minutes. Warm the refried beans in a small pot.

4. 4

   Fry the sopes in oil, rim-side up, 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp.

5. 5

   Spread each sope with beans, then top with chorizo, shredded lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, crema and salsa.
