Easy
  • Knead masa dough with as much water and salt as needed until a moist dough is obtained. Portion into 1.7-ounce small balls. Using a tortilla press, make sopes.
  • Heat a griddle over high heat. Cook sopes until cooked through, flipping over halfway through cooking. Remove. Using your fingers, pinch the sides up to form a tiny wall around the edge. Set aside covered.
  • In a deep skillet, heat one tablespoon of oil. Cook onion, garlic, tomatillos, serrano chile, cumin, allspice berries, and cilantro until tomatillos turn color.
  • Pour chicken broth. Cook until vegetables fall apart and the liquid reduces. Cool slightly. Transfer previous preparation to a blender and blend to a smooth sauce.
  • In a saucepan, heat another tablespoon of oil. Cook sliced onion until bright. Add chicken. Cook for 5 minutes. Pour sauce. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 more minutes or until cooked through. Season to taste.
  • Fry sopes with a bit of oil. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Spread a bed of beans. Add chicken. Garnish with cream, cheese, serrano chile, and tomatillo.
