These handsome sopes with grilled carne asada and three salsas\u2014red with guajillos and anchos; green with serranos, Anaheims and poblanos; and red with roasted tomatoes and chile de \u00e1rbol\u2014are designed to impress. They are the result of a weekend of cooking at its most delicioso for one of our favorite Mexican-food home cooks, Bex Streeper<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bex made these sopes as a special treat for her mother-in-law, whom she adores. \u201cYonnie has never had sopes,\u201d she says. So on a recent Sunday, she made these carne asada treats from scratch and took her suegra on \u201dan aventura to deliciousness.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy taking mi familia on a viaje to M\u00e9xico,\u201d says Bex, who is half Puerto Rican and married into a Mexican family. Many of her recipes represent the best of both familia food traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Sopes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A sope<\/a> is a chunky tortilla with a raised edge. Each one is round and about \u00bd-inch thick, looking like a masa small plate that curves up. Sopes are typically fried: making them crisp and textured on the outside, fresh and soft inside. (You can also bake them: put your sopes in a 400\u00b0 oven for about 5 minutes, until they lightly brown and stiffen.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sopes are yet one more masa delivery system for your favorite Mexican dishes and ingredients. In this case: carne asada, two types of red salsa, one green salsa, refried beans (make from scratch<\/a> or open a can\u2014your choice: no judgment). Top with your choice of traditional garnishes, like: crumbled queso fresco, minced white onion, cilantro, finely shredded cabbage, thin-sliced radishes, and avocado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our cocinera Bex calls for using adding an extra zing with \u201clime-kissed crema.\u201d She mixes lime zest and freshly squeezed lime juice to tangy Mexican crema, serving up a flavor profile we pretty much live for here at Familia Kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can buy sopes premade in packages of 10 at your local Mexican grocery and all you have to do is fry or bake them. Or you can make them from scratch, as Bex does, with masa harina\u2014the same nixtamalized corn flour used for tortillas\u2014and a little water, salt and oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Recipe with 7 Layers of Delicioso <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The recipe below looks long\u2014don\u2019t let that scare you. It just includes a lot of simple elements: sopes, grilled onions, salsas, garnishes. Here is the CliffNotes version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Build Bex\u2019s Carne Asada Sopes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Make the sopes from scratch or buy them premade from your local Latino market.<\/li>
  2. Spread a spoonful of refried beans, find the recipe here<\/em><\/a> or open a can.<\/li>
  3. Add the grilled carne asada, recipe follows<\/em><\/li>
  4. Layer with your choice of salsas: one, two or all three. Up to you! Your tres options are: red salsa with guajillos and anchos, recipe follows<\/em>; salsa verde with serranos, Anaheims and poblanos, recipe follows<\/em>; and red salsa with roasted tomato and chile de \u00e1rbol salsa, recipe follows<\/em>.<\/li>
  5. Drizzle with lime crema, recipe follow<\/em>s.<\/li>
  6. Garnish as you please. Bex calls for crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro (though we will probably add finely shredded cabbage, a hint of minced onion, and a thin slice or two of avocado). <\/li>
  7. Serve with grilled green onions and bowls of all three salsas. We also recommend drinking the remainder of the beer used in your marinade. Because: cold Mexican beer and carne asada are best friends.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
