Freshly made Mexican sopes served

Sopes (Mexican Tostada-like Dish)

Sopes are a traditional Mexican dish consisting of thick, small, tostada-like corn cakes. They date back to Aztec times when corn flour was widely used to make various types of flatbread. One of the unique features of sopes is their crispy exterior and soft interior, which provide the perfect base for rich fillings. Popular variations include bean, cheese, and meat fillings, typically garnished with sour cream and fresh cilantro. This dish is one of the most popular street foods in Mexico, and it can easily be prepared at home.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and salt, then slowly add the water. Knead until you get a smooth, pliable dough.

    2

    Form the dough into medium-sized balls, then flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.

    3

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Cook the discs on both sides for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown.

    4

    While still warm, gently pinch the edges with your fingers to create a small raised edge, forming a shallow cup.

    5

    Spread refried beans inside the sopes, then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.

    6

    Shred the cooked chicken and distribute it over the sopes.

    7

    Garnish with sliced tomatoes, avocado, and fresh cilantro.

    8

    Drizzle with sour cream (optional), and serve immediately.
