Instructions

Cook the Chicken

  • In a medium saucepan, put chicken along with the chicken stock.
  • Cook your chicken breast pieces on medium to high flame until they turn white.

Knead the Dough for Sopes

  • Preheat the broiler to high while the chicken cooks.
  • In a large mixing basin, combine masa harina and salt.
  • Stir boiling water and olive oil in a mixing bowl.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly using your hands.
  • Place the dough ball in a bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or cellophane wrap.
  • Let the dough mix rest for 15-20 minutes.

Cook the Vegetables

  • Bake the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapenos, garlic, and onion on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
  • Combine the baked vegetables, cilantro, and 1 cup of the leftover chicken stock in a blender.
  • Mix them thoroughly until they get entirely smooth.
  • Season vegetables with salt to taste.

Cook Your Sopes

  • Cut the dough into 14 equal halves.
  • Place each piece in the bowl and mix by rolling it into a ball with your palms.
  • Place the cellophane (or both pieces of baking parchment) inside a tortilla press.
  • Put one dough ball in the tortilla press.
  • To transfer the tortilla to your hand, open the tortilla press and peel aside the cellophane bag (or parchment paper).
  • Cook for 30-45 seconds on the flattened dough on each side over medium-high heat in the hot skillet.
  • Cook for the final time until beautiful brown markings appear.
  • Place the cooked dough on a plate and set aside for 30 seconds to cool.
  • When the dough is cool enough to handle, squeeze the edges together with your thumb and index finger to form a rim.
  • Place a towel over the sopes and continue until all of the sopes are produced.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for baking.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil.
  • Cook the sopes 2 or 3 at a time for about 2 minutes until light golden brown.
  • Place the sopes on the cooking platform and let it cook for a while.

Assemble the Components

  • Spread a thick layer of mashed beans over the fried sopes.
  • Shred the chicken into 1-inch bits and move it to a medium skillet or pan.
  • Stir in 1 cup salsa verde and mix it well.
  • Season the shredded chicken pieces with salt to taste.
  • Place the juicy shredded pieces of chicken coated with tomato salsa on the bean paste.
  • Add queso fresco or feta cheese on top.
  • Slice some onions and radishes into small thin slices and place them over the cheese.
  • Combine 1 part of ordinary cream with 1 part greek yogurt, a few drops of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Grab some fresh lettuce leaves and put them over the top of your sopes de pollo.
