Sopes aren’t just for lunch or dinner any more. We can now have them for breakfast! Sounds way too time consuming, am I right? Let’s be real here. Who in their right mind wants to spend hours early in the morning making breakfast sopes? Well, hear me out. What if I told you that these sopes in particular will only take you about 30 minutes to prepare? Yes, it’s possible.
I am talking about a golden crisp, thick masa base layered with refried pinto beans, scrambled eggs, chorizo (or soy chorizo), pico de gallo, spicy avocado salsa, cotija cheese and a touch of serrano chiles. Sounds too good to be true!
Well, your sope dreams are about to come true. I’ve saved time by using ready made sope shells and the secret ingredient: HERDEZ™ Instant Refried Beans. These new refried beans are not caned, keeping the traditional texture and delicious flavor of home-cooked refried beans with just a hint of salt. The beans are ready in just 5 minutes and ready to be spread.
Now, let’s talk toppings. The freshness of pico de gallo, the savory chorizo and the salty touch of cotija cheesse is all brought together by the spicy creaminess of HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa.
HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa is the only shelf stable guacamole salsa for when you need the extra kick of guacamole. I say that’s always the case. It’s so delicious, I use it as a topping in just about everything. Tacos, burritos, tostadas and fried eggs.
So there you have it. I am giving my weekend breakfast an overhaul with these time-saving refried beans. I’m keeping extra in my pantry because you just never know when you’ll have a craving.
