In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt, then gradually add warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into smooth balls. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch disc.

Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each disc for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

In a deep skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil. Fry each disc for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Spread refried beans on each sope, sprinkle with queso fresco, drizzle with Mexican crema, and top with cilantro. Serve with salsa or hot sauce.
