Sopes with cheese are a traditional Mexican dish made from thick, hand-molded rounds of masa (corn dough) with raised edges, creating a perfect base for flavorful toppings. Typically fried or lightly toasted, sopes are topped with refried beans, crumbled cheese like queso fresco, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sometimes a dollop of sour cream or salsa. Originating from Mexican street food culture, these small, hearty discs offer a blend of textures and savory tastes. Nutritionally, sopes benefit from being made with masa, a source of fiber and complex carbohydrates. The beans provide plant-based protein, while fresh veggies offer essential vitamins. However, frying and the addition of cheese and cream can make them higher in fat and calories, depending on preparation methods. A baked version with lighter toppings can provide a deliciously wholesome option for those looking to balance taste and nutrition.
