Last week I shared a Pin of one of my favorite "antojitos" on Pinterest: Sopes! 

Sopes are not as famous as Tacos here in US, this is why I decided to make them, they are like a thick tortilla that is pinch on the edges to form like a small ramekin, that you can fill them with your favorite stew, I think of them as to having  a white canvas where you can use your creativity to fill them up. 

Here is the step by step video tutorial on how to make them.  I put a layer of refried beans to all of them, then I added avocado, chorizo and cheese and I finished them up, adding shredded lettuce, sour cream and homemade salsa! But you can fill them up with anything you want!

They are really, really good! I am pretty sure you will love them! 

For week II, I shared how to make Chicharrón en salsa negra, this means Pork rinds in black salsa! Recently pork rinds have gain popularity as people who are following a Keto diet can indulge in this crunchy treat, that actually has good nutritional properties and it is very inexpensive. 

Salsa negra is one of my favorite salsas, it is made with chiles pasilla, these kind of chiles are not spicy and have a nice smokey flavor and paired very nice with the chicharrones! (Pork rinds)

In the pin you can find the recipe and in the video you can see a run on how I make this delicious traditional chicharron en salsa negra.

Also I made a some filled with chicharron! This is a very traditional dish in several latiné families.  

As we are getting closer to celebrate fall Holidays for week III, I shared how I make a 3D grave cookie, it is a very cute cookie and the process to make is a lot of fun, you can watch it HERE

For the last week of Hispanic Heritage Month, I am sharing a chocolate skull as soon we will be celebrating "Todos Santos and Day of the Dead".  I am giving a twist to the traditional sugar skull, by making it with delicious chocolate and using a silicon mold.  It is really a very easy project to do and the results are really pretty and will be the perfect little treat for all family members!  You can watch full tutorial here
