Sopes

Sopes are traditional Mexican snacks made from masa (corn dough) shaped into small, thick disks with raised edges. They are cooked on a griddle until firm, then topped with various ingredients such as refried beans, cheese, lettuce, salsa, and meat. The raised edges help contain the toppings, making sopes a handheld dish that combines crispy and soft textures. They are versatile and flavorful, often enjoyed as street food or appetizer, reflecting Mexico's rich culinary heritage.
