Sopes are traditional Mexican appetizers consisting of little fried masa cakes that are topped with vegetables and savory meats. You can actually use any topping you like, some of the most popular being beans and cheese, eggs, shredded beef or chicken, or even guacamole.nce all the sopes are formed and cooked, cover them with a dry towel. Heat oil in a deep fryer or pan to 350 degrees F. Fry each sope on both sides for about 3 minutes. Place the sopes on paper towels to blot off some of the extra oil.
Think âMexican pizzaâ. Give tacos and enchiladas, not to mention pizza, a break. For something as simple as sopes, Iâm squeezing my mind grapes heavily to explain to it to readers. The small discs of fried corn dough, topped with meat or beans (pronounced so-pez), are easy to make but less common than tacos or enchiladas. The only problem with that assessment is that it makes pizza seem simple by association, which it is not. And sopes are so user-friendly, they make pancakes look like crÃªpes. The dough for the sopes is just water and masa harina with a pinch of salt. Masa, used to make tortillas and tamales, is cornflour that has been treated with calcium hydroxide (lime), in a process called nixtamalization.
