Ingredients

• Corn masa - 1 cup
• Warm water - 1/4 cup
• Shrimp - 150 grams, peeled and deveined
• Squid - 100 grams, cleaned and sliced
• Octopus - 100 grams, cooked and chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red onion - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced for garnish
• Sour cream - 2 tablespoons for topping

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the corn masa with warm water and a pinch of salt until a smooth dough forms. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls.
2. Press each ball into a thick disc, about 1/2 inch thick, to form the sopes. Cook the sopes on a hot skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red onion, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the shrimp, squid, and octopus to the skillet, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and the squid is tender, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the diced tomato, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
5. To assemble, place each seafood mixture on top of a sope, and garnish with avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
