Sopes

It’s Friday and we began the weekend! Which also calls for amazing food, doesn’t it? Well today I will teach you guys how to make sopes. When making sopes there is many alternatives as what you want to fill them with, for example: papas con chorizo (chorizo with fries), Chicharron, smashed beans, etc. The ingredients for this recipe are easy to obtain and so are the steps, so let’s get started. To make the sopes you will need corn flour (the most known brand is called Maseca), water, baking powder, lettuce, your choice of filling, queso fresco, sour cream and some type of spicy sauce; remember that all of this is of your choice. To begin, in a bowl add your corn flour, and baking powder, after that start kneading the dough and add the water little by little until you see that the dry ingredients are well incorporated. We call this masa, once you see that the masa has a good consistency stop. Now all you have to do is get a medium portion of dough and make it into a little ball. Once you have this, with your fingers make like an opening in the middle of the ball. The opening is where your filling will go when the sope has been fried. Repeat the same process until all your masa is done. In a sauce pan all enough oil to fry your sopes, the more oil you have in the pan the less oil the sopes will observe. Once all your sopes have been fried add you filling, lettuce, queso fresco, sour cream and any other thing that you decide to add. Now you have some wonderful and delicious sopes that you can cook anytime. Enjoy
