Ingredients

• Corn masa harina - 1 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup
• Black beans - 1 cup, cooked and mashed
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Onion - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the corn masa harina and water to form a dough. Knead until smooth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each into a thick disc, about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add olive oil, garlic, and onion. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the mashed black beans, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
6. Spread a generous amount of the black bean mixture on each sope base.
7. Top with sliced radishes, avocado, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of vegan crema if using.
8. Serve warm and enjoy your Sopes de Frijoles Negros!
