Sopes, like many traditional Mexican dishes, have roots in pre-Hispanic cuisine, primarily using corn as a staple. The exact origins are difficult to pinpoint, but their development likely involved the fusion of indigenous ingredients and techniques with influences from the Spanish colonial period. Nixtamalization, the process of treating corn with an alkaline solution, is a cornerstone of making the masa used in sopes, dating back centuries.

Sopes offer a delightful combination of earthy, savory, and fresh flavors, with a creamy, crunchy, and often spicy profile.
The base flavor comes from the masa, providing a subtle corn sweetness. Refried beans contribute a creamy, earthy depth. The choice of meat, such as shredded chicken, carne asada, or carnitas, adds savory richness. Fresh toppings like shredded lettuce, crumbled cheese (often queso fresco or cotija), and sour cream provide coolness and tanginess. Finally, salsa offers a spicy kick that can range from mild to very hot, depending on the chili peppers used.

Masa Consistency
The masa should be moist but not sticky. If it's too dry, the sopes will crack when fried. If it's too wet, they'll be difficult to shape. Add water or masa harina as needed to achieve the right consistency.
Frying Technique
Fry the sopes in hot oil until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy sopes.
Building the Edge
Pinching up the edges of the sope to create a rim is crucial for holding the toppings. Do this carefully so the base does not crack.
Topping Combinations
Experiment with different toppings to create your own signature sope. Consider using different types of meats, beans, salsas, cheeses, and vegetables. Don't be afraid to get creative!
