Sopes de chorizo

About

Sopes de chorizo are a traditional Mexican dish consisting of thick, round tortillas topped with a savory mixture of spicy chorizo sausage and refried beans. The chorizo adds a bold, spicy flavor, while the refried beans provide a creamy base. These sopes are often enhanced with additional toppings such as diced onions, cilantro, crumbled cheese like queso fresco, and a dollop of crema. The combination of flavors and textures creates a hearty and satisfying meal. The preparation of sopes de chorizo involves cooking the chorizo in a pan until it is well-browned and crumbled, then combining it with refried beans. The sopes themselves are typically made from corn masa and are cooked on a comal or in a skillet with a bit of oil to give them a crispy edge. Once assembled, sopes de chorizo can be served as a snack, appetizer, or main course, offering a delicious blend of Mexican flavors and ingredients.
