If you’re new to sopes, here’s the drill: do not fold it. You’ll crack the base and lose all your toppings. Instead, hold it like a little plate and take careful bites from the edges, working your way in. The thick walls keep everything contained, so you can even eat it with your hands—just tilt your head back slightly to catch any rogue salsa.
If you’re at a restaurant and they serve it on a plate, a fork is perfectly acceptable. But if you’re standing at a street cart? Go full commissary mode. Embrace the mess. It’s part of the experience.
