A sope (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈsope]) is a traditional Mexican dish originating in the central and southern parts of Mexico where it was sometimes first known as pellizcadas. It is an antojito which at first sight looks like an unusually thick tortilla with vegetables and meat toppings. The base is made from a circle of fried masa of ground maize soaked in lime (also used as the basis for tamales and tortillas) with pinched sides.
