I love Mexican Sopes

A traditional & authentic Mexican dish

What Are Mexican Sopes? Sopes are thick corn cakes, originally found in central Mexico but are now found in various other regions. They have spread in popularity all over the country and are now found in various sizes, and with various names. Sopes are made with harina de maíz (corn flour), after adding water and letting sit it creates a masa. You will want to flatten your sope usually about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick, and cook so that they are crispy on the outside, and soft and on the inside. The most difficult step in completing a traditional sope is to pinch the edges to create a raised border but you must do this after the sope is fried, and while it is still hot! This will burn your fingers, but it is the way to achieve the traditional look, which allows the frijoles and toppings to stay inside the sope. Sopes are meant to be a platform for toppings. Again, you can go really simple, adding just refried beans and salsa. Or you can take your Sope Recipe to the next level with all sorts of fun add-ons. Learn more about Sopes at this link
