Sopes

All Mexican dishes are great, but sopes might take the cake. They're real tasty and easy to make. 

Ingredients:

Sopes

-Maseca (Masa flour) 
-Water
-Salt
(Depending on how many you want to make, the amount of maseca, water, and salt will obviously change. just follow the same proportions to make tortillas on the back of the bag)

Toppings

-Chicken (boiled, shredded, and spiced with pepper, chili powder, and crushed red pepper)
-Lettuce (chopped)
-Refried Beans
-Crema Mexicana (It's like a mexican sour cream. you can buy it at any grocery store. But you can use sour cream if you want)
-Queso Fresco (Again, you can buy this at any grocery store. It's a crumbly cheese like fetta, but not so salty.)
-Tomato (chopped up into small pieces)

Procedure

Mix Sope dough. Make sure it turns out soft, and it helps to use warm water. Form the dough into small disks with edges pointing up. It will end up being like 5 inches in diameter and maybe a fourth an inch thick. Deep fry the sopes. 
Spread the refried beans and crema mexicans over the sope. then simply top with chicken, lettuce, tomato and the queso fresco. 
Eat and fall in love
