Sopitos are a traditional Mexican dish that originated in the central and southern regions of the country. These small, thick tortillas are topped with a variety of ingredients, making them a versatile and flavorful option. The history of sopitos dates back to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, where corn was a staple food. Today, sopitos are enjoyed throughout Mexico and beyond, with each region adding its own unique twist. Some of the best sopitos can be found in family-owned restaurants in Oaxaca, where chefs take pride in using fresh, local ingredients. The key to a delicious sopito lies in the perfect balance of crispy, yet tender, tortilla and flavorful toppings, such as refried beans, shredded meat, cheese, and salsa. While the traditional method involves frying the tortillas, some modern variations opt for grilling or baking for a healthier twist. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a meal, sopitos are a beloved part of Mexican cuisine.
