Ingredients for Stuffed Sopaipilla
Method
Directions for Preparing Stuffed Sopaipillas
- 1
Prepare the Sopaipilla Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 2
Roll and Cut the Dough
Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll out each ball on a floured surface into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- 3
Fry the Sopaipillas
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each rolled-out circle until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- 4
Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, mix the refried beans, ground beef, shredded chicken, or carne adovada. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Stuff the Sopaipillas
Once the sopaipillas are cooled slightly, carefully cut a slit on the side of each to create a pocket. Fill each sopaipilla with the prepared filling.
- 6
Serve
Place the stuffed sopaipillas on a plate, smother with red or green chile sauce, and serve with papitas, frijoles, melted cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on the side. Enjoy with fresh sopaipillas!
