Sopes are delicious Mexican dishes that consist of thick corn tortillas topped with various flavorful ingredients. If you’ve ever wanted to recreate this culinary masterpiece at home, you’re in luck! In this step-by-step guide, we’ll take you through the process of making sopes from scratch. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of masa harina (corn flour)
  • 1 ½ cups of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • Oil for frying
  • Choice of toppings (refried beans, shredded chicken, salsa, cheese, lettuce, etc.)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt.

2. Slowly add warm water to the bowl, mixing with your hands until a smooth dough forms.

3. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes soft and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water. If it’s too sticky, add more masa harina.

4. Divide the dough into small golf ball-sized portions. Roll them into balls between the palms of your hands.

5. Place each ball of dough between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a tortilla press or a heavy skillet to flatten each ball into a thick tortilla about 4-5 inches in diameter.

6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of oil.

7. Cook the sopes in the hot skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a light golden color and start to puff up slightly.

8. Remove the sopes from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly.

9. Once the sopes are cooled, use your fingers to create a shallow indentation in the center of each one, forming a border around the edges to hold the toppings.

10. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the sopes for a minute on each side until they are crisp and golden brown.

11. Remove the sopes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

12. Now comes the creative part – topping your sopes! Spread a layer of refried beans on each sope, followed by your choice of toppings such as shredded chicken, salsa, cheese, lettuce, or any other desired ingredients.

13. Serve the sopes immediately and enjoy their deliciousness!

With this step-by-step guide, you’re on your way to becoming a master of making sopes! You can experiment with different toppings and fillings to create your own unique flavors. Whether you’re hosting a Mexican-themed party or simply craving a tasty snack, sopes are always a fantastic choice! So roll up your sleeves and get ready to indulge in this traditional Mexican delight.
