Description

A sope, also known as picadita is a traditional Mexican dish originating in the central and southern parts of Mexico, where it was sometimes first known as pellizcadas. The toppings range from just beans and cheese, to eggs, shredded chicken or beef, picadillo, or even just guacamole. To form thesopes you will need either a tortilla press orflat plate or the bottom of a skillet. I have prepared it with a complete twist of mine. See here
