Stuffed Sopaipillas Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sopaipilla Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook your choice of beef, chicken, or carne adovada until fully cooked. Season to taste and set aside.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into circles or squares, approximately 4-6 inches in size.

Fry the Sopaipillas
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Stuff the Sopaipillas
Once the sopaipillas are slightly cooled, carefully cut a slit in the side of each to create a pocket. Stuff with the cooked filling (beef, chicken, or carne adovada).
