The lazy version of Mexican Sopes

This is basically a tostada, I think. Our Mexican friends had us over for lunch a few weeks ago and served us Sopes (so-pays). They are so delicious, and easy. I had a hard time finding the right corn flour to use, so we made our own version of the dish on Cinco de Mayo using store bought corn tortillas. It was the lazy version, as Brent called it. If you want to make the real version, do it. I'll put the link at the bottom of the blog for the real version. They were a little bit better with the thick chewy tortillas. Otherwise follow the recipe below
Ingredients:
1 package small corn tortillas
1 can black or pinto beans
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1/4 pound Queso fresco, grated (very important cheese. Buy it at Mexican markets)
Lettuce, chopped
Your favorite salsa
1 Avocado, diced

Directions.
1. Mash the beans and oil together in a sauce pan with a potato masher. Heat over medium low heat.
2. Warm tortillas in large skillet over medium heat.
3. Spread refried beans over tortillas and top with remaining ingredients.
4. Can add chorizo and chopped baked potato for more variety.
