Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Working in batches
fry a few sopes at a time until lightly browned
about 30 seconds per side. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool just until they can be handled
2 to 3 minutes. Pinch the edges of each sope together to form a little boat.
Return sopes to the hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through
1 to 2 more minutes. Drain on paper towels.
