SOPAIPILLAS: How to Make New Mexico Style Sopaipillas that are Soft, Puffy, & Delicious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- Whether you call them "Sopaipillas" or "Sopapillas," these light and puffy little pillows of fried dough are delicious. I grew up in Southern New Mexico, where we call these wonderful treats "Sopaipillas" (with the "ai" in the spelling). And we serve them hot with honey, or we dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. If sweets aren't your thing, you can also fill them with meat, refried beans, and cheese for a more savory option. Read on for the easy recipe.
Sopaipillas
2 cups sifted flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. fat (lard, shortening, or vegetable oil)
approx. 3/4 cup warm water or milk
enough oil for deep frying
Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Cut in fat until mixture is crumbly. Add in warm water or milk a little at a time and knead until you have a soft dough. (You may not need all the liquid.) Form into smaller dough balls, cover with dish towel, and let rest 20 minutes.
Pour enough oil into saucepan to where it's 2 inches deep, and heat over medium-high. Once oil is hot, lightly flour your surface, and roll out individual dough balls like a tortilla. Each dough ball should be about 1/8" thick when done. With a small knife, cut into fourths and fry individual pieces in in hot oil. Flip them over to ensure both sides are golden brown. Remove and drain excess oil.
Serve hot with honey, powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, and enjoy!

"Adventures in Fine Dining"
In '72'73 I worked at La Hacienda in Old Town Albuquerque. I was the Sopaipillas maker in the restaurant. I was in a little booth adjacent to the Dinning Room and people would watch me make them. I'd toss them up in the air into the hot oil. The salad station was right behind me in the kitchen and I get guacamole to stuff in them. Fun times!
I am from New Mexico and growing up sopaipillas were not considered a "dessert" they were actually part of your meal, eaten in place of tortillas. I discovered that they were considered a dessert when we visited California. Wow what a culture shock, but they are delish with honey or cinnamon/sugar. But I go traditional, dip it in your New Mexican red chile or better yet, go Christmas!
Your comment made me hungry. I love sopaipillas with beans and red chile!
Live in California but my grandma was from Hot Springs NM before it was Truth or Consequences. She made these with us when we were little but always rolled it out into a circle like a pizza and cut into triangles, then put slits in them with a knife so they wouldn't be one large puff. We ate them with beans in place of a tortilla also, or sometimes honey or plain. I prefer them savory, and bet they would be good stuffed too.
Correct. Served after the order was taken.
Same for Texas and Louisiana..
My sopapillas have meat cheese and peppers in them and I bake them! So so delicious!!
I'm from South Texas and I remember Panchos very well. Absolutely loved the sopaipillas. So sad, when their restaurants closed throughout Texas. Thank you for the memories!❤
I’m so glad other people remember how awesome Pancho’s sopapillas were! We had one in Louisiana that we ate at every few years when I was younger. I’ve loved sopapillas ever since. The last time I checked a few years ago, Pancho’s still had a few restaurants in Texas. That was before covid though so things might have changed.
Haven't been to Tx, in awhile, thanks for the restaurant info. to bad.
They still have at least one... near my house. My dad and daughter like to go. It's not like it used to be... but it's close enough. Lol.
i was born and raised in NM and have not had Sopaillas in soooooooo long !!! i remember going to Pancho's when i was little and they where always one of my FAVS !! True comfort food !!! 💙💙💜💜💙💙💜💜💙💙💜💜
Yes!!! I love how many of us have that same memory of Pancho's.
I was raised in Albuquerque and I also remember Panchos from my childhood. Those endless sopapillas you can actually eat when you are a growing kid.
I LoVeD Panchos and the flag. I have told so many people about that. I live out East now so people do not get it here… but I remember!
lived in ABQ from '84 until '89. I remember one place that would cut the side open and slide a green chili cheeseburger inside instead of the bun. Total heaven. Memory fails me after that but thank you for showing us that us mere mortals can make them.
That does sound heavenly. Wish I knew where that was.
OMG. A green chile cheeseburger in a sopapilla. Sign me up. I live in Washington state now but grew up in Albuquerque, leaving in 1979. My family is still there and I love to visit. I am not going to wait until next trip. I will have to make the sopapilla burger.
I was born in Albuquerque and lived there for my first 32 years. Now I am in Arizona. Every time I visit, and I mean EVERY TIME, I go to El Modelo to get stuffed sopapillas. They are next to the railroad, almost under the bridge at Avenida Caesar Chavez. Still a hole on the wall. Everything is take out, no tables or seating. The absolute best New Mexican food experience!! My mouth is watering 😋🥰❤️. Thank you, Marcy for the recipe and the wonderful memories!!
I miss La Posta.... and Panchos were amazing
I went to a restaurant in Albuquerque many years ago that I believe was call Seraphinas (something like that). They had the most delicious stuffed sopapillas, filled with the lightest egg and potatoes and covered in a red enchilada sauce. They were magical. 19 years later and I have not forgotten that meal. Thank you for sharing.
I am from New Mexico and when I was small my parents would take our family to La Posta in Roswell. This was between 1947 to 1958. My sis would get a plate stacked with tortillas and red sauce and I would always get a basket of sopapillas. When we left New Mexico it was a sad day. I've always wondered if the restaurant was still in Roswell. Now that I'm 70 I would go back just to experience it again.
I remember my mom making sopaipillas a long time ago. But, today, with your recipe, I was able to make some for me and my dad. It's been nine years as of today (March 31) that my mother has passed to be with the Lord. Take Care
I'm from Albuquerque and I to enjoyed Ponchos but the memories of sopas was La Hasenda ( sp ? ) in Old Town.
Twisters always has good sopas
My mother grew up in Santa Fe. We had Sopaipillas served with our pinto beans. We ate them as a bread not a dessert. We tore off the top and stuffed the sopaipilla with our beans and cheese. Later in life I made them for my children and now my children make them for my grandchildren 😊
s
Oh, I loved reading that. I've always felt the best foods we eat are ones passed from one generation to the next.
I grew up in Albuquerque and El Paso. I loved La Posta and when I was a child , I’d go to Guardunos in Albuquerque. I’ve been looking for a Sopapilla recipe from NM , Thankyou. I live in New York now .
Oh wow! You’re a long ways from home. Glad you can still bring a taste of it to New York.
@@marcyinspired1442 yes. I miss home , Thankyou .
I remember Panchos very well, grew up in ABQ. Loved the flag! And, like many people in earlier comments, sopaipillas are served with the meal!
Just the other day I had a sopaipilla with carne adovada, and when I finished it, I was ready for another sopaipilla with honey for dessert! Lol Thanks for the comment. Love how many people share the same memory.
Panchos is why I'm here. Haven't had one since they closed in El Paso twentyyears ago. Most places bring you a tostada. 😭
I am moving back to ABQ here in the next few months..
Panchos, haven’t heard that restaurant name in forever. Had many a birthday party there growing up in Albuquerque.
Oh my gosh- Panchos!!! I have talked to THOUSANDS of people about this restaurant since I was a kid! My mom used to drive me from Houston all the way to El Paso once a year, just for my birthday, because I loved this place so much!
Best sopaipillas is Jalisco's cage in Silver City... I'm making your recipe today... Surprising my son... He like with honey.. as do I.
One of my sisters lives in Silver City. I'll have to ask her if she's been there. Now I'm craving sopaipillas again.
@@marcyinspired1442 Jalisco's cafe is everyone favorite... And if u get a chance try Nancy's cafe... Best enchiladas
oh I lived in Las Cruces and have been to both those restaurants! I'm in Ohio now and nobody has them, will try this recipe for sure!
YUM, fell in love with them when I lived in Santa Fe, NM. OMG - so good! Thank you for the demonstration. I will have to try making.
Papa Felipe’s Restaurant was our favorite in Albuquerque!
Our mother made them with fruit fillings ...soooooo goood.....memories
Thanks for the memories I live in California now but try going back once a year how I love our culture from that area so wonderful and so beautiful
Thank YOU for watching! I love that this video gave you a little taste of New Mexico.
I just found your channel and I am enjoying your recipes! Being born and raised in CA, I had never heard of sopaipillas, not until I married my husband who was born and raised in NM and El Paso, TX. My first time eating them was at Panchos in El Paso and I remember the flag. The sopaipillas were simple, but delicious! I have also been to La Posta in Mesilla, and they have delicious ones too. I will definitely be making these for my family! FYI-My grandmother and her parents were born in La Mesilla. I love going to Mesilla, to visit the San Albino Basilica, they've been very helpful with my genealogy research. Thank you for your recipes.
I lived in Albuquerque about 10 years and loved the Sopapillas with honey.
Yum! I love that you can find them everywhere in Albuquerque.
Love Panchos!
I used to live in Albuquerque and eat at Ponchos Mexican buffet and I remember how good the Sopaipillas were.
Yes!!! Panchos may not have had the most authentic Mexican food, but they sure knew how to make good sopaipillas!
I live in Albuquerque and cried when they closed Pancho's. I loved the rice, the beans, the salsa, and the SOPAPILLAS. It was such a family place to be and my son would be so excited to go. You think we were at a carnival or something the way her carried on. What a little flag will do.
I'm in San Antonio Texas and Pancho's Mexican restaurant was the place to be! Especially for their sopapillas! They've closed down all Pancho's Restaurants years ago, so this video is heaven sent! Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching. Btw, I love San Antonio. It's one of my absolute favorite cities to visit.
There's at least one still open here in fort worth. My dad and daughter go there pretty often.
Born and raised in ABQ, sopapillas were like fry bread for us. Dessert, dinner, snack, it was an every dish staple.
Pancho’s was down the street from my High School and we ate there at least 2 times a week! Love the reference.
My best friend’s family are Mesilleros so La Posta was also a regular thing growing up. Your video brought up so many good memories!
Glad you could relate. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
I love sopapillas even more than Louisiana’s own beignets, and that’s saying something.
The best sopapillas I’ve had came from The Sopapillas Factory. It’s a nice restaurant some where betweeen Albq. and Sante Fe. Thanks for your recipe.
It’s hard to go wrong with fried dough. When I had my first beignet, it was love at first bite! Thanks so much for watching.
@@marcyinspired1442
Isn't the Beignet and the Sopapilla the same dough?
My family is from Santa Fe we would eat them all the time. They are not just a desert. We stuff them with what ever we are eating and they are delicious.
I couldn’t agree more. I love them stuffed with beans, cheese, and red chile.
Love your recipe. I grew up in Los Alamos between 1955-1061 and craved these ever since. Now I am retired in Hawaii and I can finally enjoy foods like you have brought to my table. I entertain lots of people from Japan who love my cooking and I know they will love your recipe.
Mahalo Nui Loa!
How wonderful it must be to live in Hawaii! My husband went to school in Hilo. He's since taken me to the Big Island and Maui, but it's been quite a few years. We often talk about going there on vacation and featuring some type of local food in one of our videos. I loved the hot malasadas and loco mocos. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. Aloha!
The only sopaipillas around me are flat. I miss the puffy ones like you made when I lived in Las Cruces. Honey is my favorite with them, also. I will definitely be doing these soon. Thanks!!
There was a restaurant in Las Cruces that used to make stuffed sopaipillas with refried beans that were so good. But I can't remember the name of it. Anyway, happy to hear you'll be trying these. Let me know how they turn out for you. Thanks for the comment.
Was in vacation once up north and the fam took to a " Mexican restaurant " , it was ... uh ... mostly ICK! Though I asked pillows sopaiillias and they whisked off and brought me a Flat dough sort of thing ... yuck
@@marcyinspired1442 I remember a place in Las Cruces called Si Señor that had great sopapillas served with honey
@@Blade2point0 I love Sí Señor. It's one of my favorites in Las Cruces.
Love Sopaipillas but can't find them in restaurants anywhere around where I live in north east Texas. LOL. Lived in Las Cruces as a teenager and know exactly where Old Mesilla is. When I was there it was just a hole in the wall, if you blinked you would miss it. Funny you went there. Going to save your recipe so I can make them. Thank you very much for posting.
Thank YOU! I appreciate the feedback. You need to bring sopaipillas to east Texas!
When I have been in New Mexico they were served with the meal instead of tortillas. Savory or sweet...can't be beat.
I'm from new Mexico, grew up eating sopaipillas, love them, thank you for sharing
Thank YOU for watching and taking the time to comment. I love sopaipillas, too!
This video is bring back to my childhood when I'd visit my grandparents in El Paso tx for the summer. I fell in love with the food there we'd go every Sunday to Casita Linda mexican restaurant in El Paso after church for Sunday lunch!
What a sweet memory! I lived in El Paso when I was right out of college, but I don't think I ever ate there. I'll have to try it out next time I'm in town (which is fairly often). Thanks for the comment.
I ate there last Friday still good
@@herodotusofhalicarnasis2394❤
Just saw this video from a couple of years ago! 😊
it brought back such good memories of when we lived in Albuquerque when my daughter was little. It was her favorite part of the meal when we went to eat at El Pinto. 😍
Super star👍👍
god I miss poncho's I never thought I'd hear about it again 😢
If you ever make your way to Silver City NM, find Jalisco’s downtown, hands down the best sopaipillias anywhere!!!! I’ve had them all over NM and Jalisco has perfected the recipe and they are massive too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm very familiar with Jalisco's and all of Silver City! My oldest sister has lived there most of her life, although she's in the process of moving back closer to home now. Whenever I visit, we make it a point to walk downtown and go into the bookstores and antique shops, and we usually eat there. I love it.
@@marcyinspired1442 lived here most of my life, lol small world. I believe they are the best at sopaipillia’s. There are a lot of places that make really good ones all over the state of NM but imo Jalisco’s has always been the best, just me though. Thanks for the great video
Sigh I miss home.. Lol thanks for sharing your recipes!
Awe. I feel you. Happy you got a little taste of home, even if it was only on video. Thanks for the comment.
Having grown up in Southern and Northern New Mexico, this was such a delightful reminder of childhood meal memories! Had them both in a sweet and savory style. My favorite was the stuffed sopapillas at El Pinto in Albuquerque. And oh yes, I recall the flag at Panchos! So much fun. Thank you for this video! I am inspired to make some *real* sopapillas with my family.
I love that we have similar childhood memories. Food really does that. Thanks so much for watching. I enjoyed reading your comment.
Agreed, food really does complete memories! Thank you for your kind response!
They had Panchos here in AZ too....miss that place...and that table flag...
Ohhh my goodness!!! How I remember Panchos when we lived in Arkansas growing up!! So delicious!! 😍
Didn’t realize they had them in Arkansas. Love that we all share that same memory.
I used to live next to Old Mesilla in the nineties. Such great restaurants. There was a place in San Luis, Colorado that would serve sopapillas with honey butter or with ice cream and chokecherry syrup. So amazing! Most of the sopapillas I see today are like hard little crackers. Thank you for the recipe!
I used to work in Old Mesilla in the 90s, and lived not too far away in 'Cruces. Loved the smell and feel of the different seasons in that part of the world! The food was spectacular, Loved this little restaurant that served the hottest green chili anywhere at Nelly's in 'Cruces. Grew up in ABQ so, yes, nice video!😃
I've never had chokecherry syrup, but I'm sure it's wonderful. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Chokecherry syrup is so good especially with sopapillas 😊
Was raised in Alamogordo. We went to both of those restaurants all the time! Loved Ponchos! Another great place for sopaipillas is Si Señor in Las Cruses. All of their food is amazing! Glad I found your channel!
My family goes to Si Señor all the time. The food is really good there.
I was raised in Hobbs, NM in a big family so we didn't eat out much.I remember the first time we did. I had sopas I ate 2 with honey and licked my fingers all the way home. I thought I was in heaven!! THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!
Loved reading your comment. That pretty much described my experience, too! I was the youngest of five, so "eating out" was when we happened to be visiting my tia's house at dinner time! Lol I guess that's why eating at Pancho's was such a big deal. It was the highlight of my existence! (Unlike today's kids who eat out almost everyday.)
My first introduction with them were stuffed! Delicious beans and seasoned ground beef with shredded cheddar cheese. They were topped smothered in spicy chili verde and more cheese and shredded lettuce. OMG! They were the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. The cook of my mother-in-law’s cafe’ was from New Mexico and she introduced me to many of her family’s recipes. Now I show friends and family how to make her chili verde. I even spent time with her and her family to learn how to make tamales and we would form an assembly line and make them for Christmas! The chili and cheese tamales were among my favorites!!
Your comment is making me hungry! I think I need to make stuffed sopaipillas soon.
My parents are from New Mexico and I grew up eating these , and every time I vist Albuquerque I have to have them ,thanks for the recipe I want to share them with kids too.
I'm so happy you found this video. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me. Comments like yours make my day!😊
OMG! I live in Albuquerque and I remember going to Pancho's restaurant when I was very young. I always got in trouble for raising the flag too many times. I even remember it being on Central Ave. in ABQ. They had the best sopapillas.
I teach high school communication class, and I use your videos for our how-to objective...love your hairstyle and outfit!.... Marcy Rocks!
Wow! Thank you so much! Where do you teach?
Pancho's was the best!!! Thanks for the recipe, just what I was looking for!!
Love that you share my Pancho's memory and happy you found this video. Thanks for checking it out & taking the time to comment.
I'm totally going to try your recipe
Happy to hear that. Thanks for watching. 😊
The same for me , I loved them when my aunt made a fresh pot of pinto beans , I also like to dip into my sweet cup of hot coffee ‼️ ☕❣️😋No sugar or honey. Miss them alot ...going to try and make some today! 🤞🤗
We made these tonight!! I grew up loving Panchos sopapillas and these were just as good! Thank you!
So happy you liked them. Thanks for coming back to tell me.
It's that Mexican food?? I never heard about and I'm 💯 Mexican
Yep, ""La Posta" is the place I first had "Sopa's" and fell in love with them with Honey. A basket was brought to the table. And Panchos in Texas when visiting. These places spoiled me. Some restaurants take a tortilla fry it and call it a Sopa, NO NOT FOR ME! I'll give your recipe a try it looks authentic.
Just watched this video and had to try.
Being from Las Cruces as well yeaaaaa I had to try your recipe. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching. Hope you enjoyed your sopaipillas!
Loved Pancho’s too! We had one in Amarillo, Texas and so wish it was still open.
Yum! Another delicious recipe. I’m going to be making these sopiapillas tomorrow morning. Thanks Marcy I love your recipes, you make things simple but delicious. I’m glad I found you on you tube. 👍🌹
Panchos!! I loved that place. 😊❤
You definitely were not alone. I had no idea when I mentioned Panchos, that so many people would say the same thing.
Hey you wonderful cooking lady. I havnt lived in new mexico for a long time but i one thing i truly miss is new mexican food hands down the best anywhere.
So now you got me thinking about good ol ponchos. And the rio grande cantina and some of the best food anywhere with hatch green chille. So for my niegbors birthday I'm making him new mexican stuffed sopaipias!
Problem is the filling is soo yummy iam eating it before i get them all filled.
Thanks
Thanks for such a nice comment. I hear from a lot of people who've moved away and miss the food, so you're definitely not alone. Also, what a great neighbor you are! Provided there's anything left, I'm sure they'll enjoy your stuffed sopaipillas! Lol
Love your recipes! Could never make good Mexican food until finding your channel! Everything has been delicious! So nice most are made with ingredients we already keep. Anyway…made these tonight and they were excellent! It was so much fun watching them puff up. :) Thanks for sharing!
I am watching this video because I miss Panchos sopapillas! You should teach us to make their flautas!
Maybe I will down the road. Thanks for the suggestion.
Recuerdo el Panchos, abria la sopaipilla y la rellenaba con nieve.
Eso suena delicioso!
Been to La Posta, and Andele in Mesilla a few times each. Nellies in Las Cruces had these babies too! Loved Nellies, went many times, I lived in Alamogordo, 14 years.
Thanks for repping southern New mexico. I grew up with green chili stew and sopapillas. Never did them for desert, that was tres leches, or flan.
I too remember Panchos in Phoenix. Always enjoyed their food and yes on the raising of the flag 🚩. Yummy sopapillas is how I'd say it and always had to put honey 🍯 in mine too. Great stuff! As always I really enjoy watching Marcy Inspired. Keep cranking the making of wonderful food. 👍👍
I had no idea there were Panchos in Phoenix! So you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Raising that flag was about the biggest thrill for me when I was a kid. 😂 Wish they were still around. Thanks so much for the comment.
My mom worked there and we lived right down the street from it at one point. It was awesome!
@@LadyBathory666 That's awesome! Especially, if she brought home leftovers.
We just ate at La posta last week 10/23/23
We also lived in La Mesa
Chopes….👍🏼loved your Gordita video
I used your recipe, it worked great! Thank you for the clear and concise instructions
Ah... memories of eating in old Mesilla and Pancho's. Great stuff. Thanks for showing me how to make them. Appreciated
Thank YOU for watching!
Hi. I really enjoy your cooking videos. I really like your Sopaipillas recipe. I myself am from Silver City, New Mexico. I'm trying to improve the end results of my homemade Sopaipillas. 😊. Thank you for your videos.
My ex and I were always at Poncho's Mexican Cafe when I lived in El Paso !!
In fact that's the place I was thinking of when I was watching you make these!
I'm going to Albuquerque in September and I don't know if it's still there, but before I left Albuquerque I actually found a Poncho's Mexican Cafe! I'll have to see if it's still there before I get there. I love Sopaipillas! Yum!😋
Reminds me of my aunt and grandmother at new Years
Awe. Thanks for checking out my video. I love when food brings back happy memories.
hi Marcy we are going to make these tonight it just sounds so good .. We had a restaurant in Denver that made these so soft ask you could eat combos beef or chicken meals they would seat you with your meals i always raised the flag to order the sopas and the refried beans and what ever i wanted but the sopas. were the star of the meal. they also had shows like divers, magic acts games and game shows plus more things to do . The restaurant was Casa Bonita good memories for us .Thank you for the video im sure i will love these with hot hamburger and diced fried potatoes and refried beans ....thank you marcy
Just reading your comment made me hungry! It all sounds so good. I hope you enjoyed the sopaipillas. Thanks for watching and commenting!
well marcy they reminded casa bonita for the sopas were fluffy and soft i did use milk instead of water altho im sure the water is great also. i will use this recipe from now on thank for replying have a great week marcy...
we had the sopaipillas with fried potatoes,hot or spicy hot fried hamburger kinda like sloppy joes but hot so good with beans stuffed we had the best meal has anyone been to a restaurant where they made the tortillas in front of you while waiting in line for your food i thought that was interesting check out casa bonita on the google search they will show you the whole experience if it is still up have a good day marcy ...
Ii am from Silver City , NM and we did not have sopapillas for dessert either. We would get them when my mother didn't feel like making a stack of tortillas for a family of 8. Of course, we loved those times and would have preferred them more often, but my dad didn't care for them. Come to think of it, we probably had them when she was mad at my dad. Unfortunately for us, it was not often enough. Fond memories!
LOL Your comment cracked me up! It was your dad's loss and your gain.
I love sopaipillas! They bring up so many memories for me. My family also comes from Southern NM and we make ours the same way. ❤️
I love how certain foods will do that! Sopaipillas is definitely one of them for me, too. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. 😊
Yep, with our meal ❤Viva Las Vegas!! Charlie’s Spic n Span & Raphael’s best Authentic New Mexican Food
Hi marcy I make them to I make panaditas with them to I put refried beans and cook hamburger meat and green chili and cheese they love them like that to thankyou have a blessed day love you and God loves you to ❤😊

I'm from Las cruces n I kove them mmmmm thnk u for ur recipes
Thanks so much! I'm thrilled you follow my recipes! (I'm from La Mesa.)
Great show
They look delicious. They look like the ones my grandma, mom and sister make. I like to eat them plain. We're from here in La Mesa, NM. So you're from our Valley. Who knows we might be related.😊
This made me feel nostalgic, despite the fact that I'm at home, in Santa Fe, eating sopaipillas with honey from the restaurant we just went to.
That is too funny. Love it!
Cervantes in Albuquerque has the best!! Mom loves their stuffed sopapillas with beans, meat, and green chile.
Ah, man. That sounds good right about now. Thanks for the comment.
I remember both restaurants! So good! Thank you for sharing! 🫶🏻
Thank YOU for watching!
Yesssss I miss Pancho's the have the best hands down
Here in DFW we only have one or two left
You're lucky you can still go to one. I didn't know there were any left until people started commenting on this post.
Thank you !!! I can’t wait to make some of your recipes. I miss southern New Mexico. I order all my hatch seasonings.
You're so welcome. Glad you're able to order your seasonings from Hatch.
Yes my favorite, I too am from Las Cruces lived in Mesilla in growing up years for a very long time, & remembering those two mentioned restaurants were very good of the soopaipillas yummy
It's funny how many people shared my same memory of those two restaurants. I love it.
They where so delicious!! ❤️ love sopaipillas, I live out in Las Cruces 🖐
Glad to hear this recipe worked for you. I was just in Cruces a couple of days ago.
Pancho's awesome! I would stuff the sopapillas with rice and beans too! yum
YES!!! I would take them any way!
Living in the East mountains by Albuquerque we ate at a restaurant called Grandma's. It was located in Tijeras. She had the best beans and sops. Of course that was 30 years ago. Then we discovered Monroes. Yummy.
Sounds like some great memories. Glad you've found another place to get your sopaipilla fix. Thanks for the comment.
I miss Poncho's!
We Native Indians call it fried bread mostly eaten with red or green chile stews or you can also make Indian tacos or simply steam some honey all over it- all delicious.
At the local NM restaurants they're served with your meal so you can enjoy your Southwestern Mexican/Spanish dinner. Oh so good!
I LOVE fry bread! (My daughter is half Navajo.) I'm hoping to share a recipe for it sometime in the future.
I love Garcia's in Albuquerque. They have great sopapillas. Always order extra to take back to room with us. Too munch on.
Hoping to feature an Albuquerque restaurant here in the future. There are so many fantastic places to eat there.
@@marcyinspired1442 I like to go to the Garcia's Kitchen - The
Original on central.
The one on Central, and the one on 4th St. are where I would get my chile relleno-stuffed-sopapillas topped with green chile. Didn't matter if I went there feeling sad, angry, or already happy, every time, I left with a big happy smile!!!! 😀
Omg you brought me so many good memories with the resturants you mentioned and you got me a big smile on my face. And you make your sopaillas the same way I do. Thank-you
I’m so happy this video brought back good memories. 🥰 Thanks for the sweet comment.
It was such a blessing to see there are native New Mexicans who had sopapillas with their meals instead of chips!! Took me home!!
There are many variations all the way from Tierra del Fuego (Chile, Argentina) to New Mexico. It's a fried bread brought by the Spaniards but of Arab origin. The original name was sopaipa.
Prefect!
Can't wait to make again and stuff with NM red beef chile or green, frijoles, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.... yum!
Reminds me of a hot spot growing up in NW Albq called "Mexican Kitchen" Restaurant famous for their Stuffed Sopapillas filled with whatever you choose....and were almost the size of NFL footballs (doggy bag needed, for sure). I believe MK is still there today.
God Bless!
Thanks.
Thanks for the comment! I'll probably be going to Albuquerque around Christmas. I'll be on the lookout for Mexican Kitchen because that sounds amazing!
Yum my favorite but I also love buñuelos💞
I love buñuelos, too! I'll have to put that on my list of recipes to share down the road.
Love to watch your recipes ! I also am from NM .I do miss the Ponchos . We went there a lot as a kid . Blessings to you
Thanks so much. It's crazy how many people share similar memories of Pancho's. I love hearing about it.
Yasssss! I loved Pancho's (in ABQ) and their sopas. Great childhood memories. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
It's funny, I don't remember the rest of their food so much as I do their sopaipillas! Thanks for the comment!
The one in El Paso was great too! When I was little I loved lifting the flag to get more food :)
@@teresab3198 Yes! My parents took us a couple of times to the one in El Paso. It was very, VERY rare that we would go out to eat, so it was so exciting for us. And to know it was all-you-could-eat, my family is probably the reason they closed. Haha!
