Notes
You can buy sopes in a Mexican food market or make your own with our sopes recipe.
You don’t need oil to cook the chorizo mixture, as chorizo will release some flavored fat when cooking it.
To save some calories, instead of frying sopes, you can spray or brush them with a bit of oil and then heat them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 390°F/200°C.
Nutritional info doesn't include toppings like pico de gallo, salsa, cream, and cheese.
