Homemade Vegan Sopes with Refried Beans

In a bowl combine masa harina, salt (if using), and 1 cup water. Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be moist, not crumbly. 2. Roll dough into a log. Cut log into 12 equal pieces. Roll pieces into balls; press balls into 2½-inch disks. Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium. Add disks to griddle, fitting as many as you can at one time. Cook 10 minutes or until disks are browned around the edges; flip disks and cook until lightly browned. 3. Transfer cooked disks to a platter and let sit until just cool enough to handle. Pinch the edges of each disk to create a slightly raised edge. 4. For filling, in a small pan stir together refried beans and taco seasoning (if using). Cook over medium until heated through. 5. To assemble sopes, drop 1 tablespoon of bean mixture onto each masa base, then top with the pico de gallo and guacamole. Serve extra pico de gallo on the side.
