Sopes are a traditional Mexican dish made from thick corn tortillas. They are typically about four to six inches in diameter and have raised edges to hold toppings. The base is usually made from masa, a dough made from ground corn, which is then cooked on a griddle until firm. Common toppings for sopes include refried beans, shredded meat, lettuce, cheese, and salsa. They are often served as a snack or appetizer and can be customized with various ingredients. Sopes are popular in many regions of Mexico and are enjoyed for their delicious flavors and versatility.
