Sopes and Gorditas, no I’m not talking about Taco Bell Gorditas. These small, round and thick disks are made from masa(a whitish dough made from ground corn, water and lime), and then cooked on a comal (griddle or skillet). The word gorditas is also used as a term of endearment for a curvy girls :) and sopes as far as I know just means these little goodies.

3. Once your dough feels soft you’ll need to start shaping it into small 1 inc/ 2.5 cm balls. This recipe yields 6 to 7 Sopes or Gorditas.


Mm.. delicious.
These are so sun and versatile, will need to try these out :)
They really are Alisha. You could also stuff them with veggie fillings. We do sometimes and they taste great. Enjoy :)
So I’ve recently become ill and I can no longer have wheat or rice at all, but I can have corn! Is there ANY way to make these without regular flour?
Thank you!
Hi K! You can make these with 100% masa harina, which is Mexican cornflour. It is gluten free. Enjoy!
I should have known you would have a recipe for these!! I don’t have gmo masa and want to make sopes tonight. Thank you!! You rock, as always.
Thank you Amy and enjoy those sopes!
