Sopes

I just got back from a week and a half in Mexico. It was split between a week in the Celaya area (visits to Querretaro, Celaya, Leon) and Ixtapa/zhihuatanejo. In both places I had 'sopes'. As far as I could tell, it was simply the same masa as for tortillas, only left much thicker, toasted on one side, flipped, and then crimped around the edge to leave a sort of tart shell 3 inches accross. I then had it filled with everything from squash blossoms to chorizo and topped with lettuce and chopped tomato and pico de gallo. My question is - am I right about the dough? Anyone ever made these? It looks simple but I haven't tried it yet. It sure makes a great breakfast food (and fast!).

Sopes.... You're right, it's masa for tortillas

Yep, I've made them a few times and sopes are made with masa for tortillas. They can be topped with any kind of meat that is appropriate for tacos, or you can just top them with with frijoles molido, queso, salsa, and cebolla picada.

If you like sopes you might also like huaraches. I posted a recipe for them somewhere about a week ago.

Buen provecho!
