Did you know you can make sopes using Sonora Keto Tortilla Mix? Sopes are open-faced masa shells filled with your favorite seasoned protein -- similar to a tostada but with a thicker, softer shell. Fill with savory beef, lamb, pork, chicken or even keto-friendly black soy beans to make a filling and deliciously low-carb meal!Â

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Combine Sonora Keto Tortilla mix with 1 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon melted lard or olive and mix well.
Step 2
Wrap tortilla dough in plastic and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 3
Remove dough from fridge and form eight balls. Then flatten the dough balls until approximately 1/4" thick. Form 1/2" walls around the edges to form cups.
Step 4
In a skillet on medium high, lightly toast the bottom side of the sope shell until slightly golden. This will help hold the dough together when frying.
Step 5
In a pan with approximately 1" of safflower oil at 380°F, fry each sope shell. Fry one side until golden, then flip and cook the other side until golden. Set aside on paper towels.
Step 6
In a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil, cook the ground lamb with the onion, chile powder, salt and pepper. Drain lamb meat after cooked.
Step 7
Fill each cup with the lamb mixture, topping with queso fresco, tomato, cilantro and lettuce. Provecho!
