Rick Bayless Sopes: Street-Style Sopes

RECIPE 👉 www.rickbayless.com/recipe/si...
Quintessentially simple, perfectly made sopes-hot off the griddle-are about the best thing a person can eat. But like all street food, they can be a challenge to make indoors. First of all, you aren’t the vendor who’s made a reputation and livelihood by crafting thousands of sopes. Simple as they may look, the perfect pressing, baking and pinching takes practice. Plus, you won’t have the same equipment as the street vendor, and possibly not the same ingredients. That said, it’s worth plunging in and creating some deliciousness.
A lot of street food sopes have very simple toppings, as I’ve outlined here-spicy salsa, pungent grating cheese, onions and cilantro, but it's the corn masa base that plays the starring role.

    We fill the sopes with refried beans or rajas with requeson then dip them in a enchilada mole sauce and then fry up the sopes. We top them with salsa, lettuce, sour cream, and cheese.

    Sopes are a favorite food among many people, especially when they're loaded with smashed beans, lettuce, cilantro, onion, cheese, and a good sauce. This combination of food fills the stomach and offers a delicious flavor. Many people enjoy sopes as a meal or as a side dish with other meals. The way of preparing sopes varies according to geographical region, but in general it is a healthy food that delights many palates.

    Sopes are the most underrated Mexican dish. My partner's mother(from Pueblo) would always shallow fry them for the second cooking and I love it that way. Nice and crispy.

    En Veracruz, México, les llamamos “picadas”, y son más grandes, más o menos del tamaño de una tortilla. Gracias Rick por tu amor a nuestra cultura y gastronomía, te quiero!! Feliz 2022!

    I made these back in the 80's from your first cookbook. Just delicious, and I'm glad to be reminded of them!

    I love Sopes! I get them from a taco truck in my small hometown. The nice folks who own it don't speak much English, and I speak very little Spanish, so ordering can be interesting! Amazing how far a friendly smile can get ya.

    I’m so happy right now. We were in Loretto Mexico some years back and every day I ordered potato sopes from a nice cafe. All of a sudden they just closed. I’ve never forgotten how enjoyable they were. So I’ll be trying this recipe soon. Thank you Rick ❤️

    Just about to make them for Cinco de Mayo. My mom and I would watch you 30 years ago on PBS! Loved you show so much then. My sons and I had the opportunity to visit your restaurant Frontera Grill so fun to share a full circle and pass our love of you food down to them!
