About Sopes with ground beef and cheese

Sopes with ground beef and cheese are a traditional Mexican dish combining a thick corn masa base with savory toppings. The sope, with its slight bowl-like shape, is fried or baked, giving it a satisfying texture. It's layered with seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and often garnished with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of crema or salsa. Packed with protein from the beef and calcium from the cheese, this dish can offer essential nutrients, especially when paired with fresh vegetables. However, the high fat content from frying the sope and the cheese, along with refined carbs from the masa, can make it calorie-dense. Opting for baked sopes and leaner beef, or adding beans for plant-based protein, can boost its healthfulness. Sopes are a flavorful way to enjoy the rich culinary traditions of Mexican cuisine.
