I would love a recipe for this! I live in Mexico so no chance of getting them unless I fly to NY.l

Dinner Tonight: Sopes

A little advice from Mexico.

You don't need a lot of fat to fry the Sopes, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan or skillet. You need first to cook them in a pan without oil until they are firm and start to blister a little. Then you can fry them a little just to bring out the flavor. The cooking is done on the first step, not while frying.

I usually eat sopes with refried black beans, shredded chicken breast, some salsa (whatever you have in hand) and some cream.

Hope this tip serves you.

Corn tortillas - what's the secret?

From Mexico.
For enchiladas, quickly fry the tortillas (don't get them too crispy).

For tacos you should heat them in a dry pan (no oil), turning them once or twice then wrap them in a cloth so they stay warm. Eat them as soon as possible.

Happy tortilla eating!
