Sopes are a traditional Mexican dish made from a thick, handmade disk of masa (corn dough), lightly fried and topped with a variety of ingredients. Typically, they feature refried beans, meat such as chicken, beef, or pork, shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa, with optional additions like cream or avocado. Sopes are a versatile item, allowing for customization with a variety of toppings. As a source of carbohydrates, they provide energy, thanks to the corn masa. The beans and toppings contribute protein, fiber, and vitamins, offering important nutrients for a balanced diet. However, they can be high in calories and fat, depending on preparation methods and toppings like fried meats and cream. Opting for lean protein and fresh vegetables can make sopes a healthier choice while preserving their rich, authentic flavors. Sopes showcase Mexican culinary tradition and celebrate the versatility of masa in Latin American cuisine.
