Stuffed Sopapillas with Carne Adovada image

Homemade fresh sopapillas stuffed with carne adovada and topped with red chile and melted cheese

Provided by Andrea

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter (melted)
3/4 cup water
oil for frying
2 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt (cut into 1" cubes)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground oregano
2 cups red chile sauce
1 cup lettuce (shredded)
3 tomatoes (diced)
2 cups cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add melted butter and water then mix the dough until it is smooth.
  • Return dough to the bowl and cover with a towel for 20 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a clean surface and use a rolling pin (or sturdy cup) to roll into 1/4" thickness. Use a knife or pizza roller to cut into 3" squares.
  • Heat 4" of oil in a sturdy pot over medium-high heat, until temperature reaches 375 degrees. Add sopapillas, one at a time, and fry until puffy and golden brown, about 15 seconds per side.
  • Remove from pot and transfer to a paper-towel lined bowl.
  • In a slow cooker, season pork with salt and oregano. Pour in red chile and stir until coated.
  • If possible, marinate for 12 - 24 hours.
  • Cook on slow for 9 hours, until cooked through and fork-tender.
  • On an oven-safe plate, split sopapilla in half. Spoon on a generous serving of carne adovada.
  • Top carne adovada with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Top cheese with shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
  • Fold over the top of the sopapilla to seal it. Spoon over a couple tablespoons of the red chile from the carne adovada. Top with cheese.
  • Turn your oven on to broil, then place in oven for 1 - 2 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  • Repeat for remaining sopapillas.

STUFFED SOPAPILLAS

This is a popular main dish in a local restaurant. I have changed it up a little to make it a bit healthier. (Took away the frying).

Categories     Other Breads

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 c all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
4-6 Tbsp shortening
1 1/4 c warm milk
olive oil, extra virgin

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, blend together the flour baking powder, and salt. With a pastry cutter cut in the lard or shortening. Add the milk all at once, and mix the dough quickly with a fork or by hand until the dough forms a mass.
  • 2. Turn the dough onto a well-floured board and begin to knead the dough by folding it in half, pushing it down, and folding again. It should take about a dozen folds to form a soft dough that is no longer sticky.
  • 3. Cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap to let it rest for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 4. Divide the dough in 1/2, keeping the 1/2 you are not working with covered with plastic wrap or a towel so it does not dry out.
  • 5. Roll the dough half you have chosen on a floured board with gentle strokes. Roll the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. The more you work the dough, the tougher your sopapilla will turn out. However, to keep a sopapilla well puffed after cooking, you may want to work the dough a minute or so longer.
  • 6. Cut into squares and fill dough with your choice of fillers. (Hambuger, grilled chicken, cheese, beans, black olives, mushrooms, jalapenos...for example)
  • 7. Use fork to press edges together forming a "pillow". Brush the whole sopapilla with olive oil and bake @350-400 until the dough is full done. JUST A NOTE...IF YOU WANT THAT BUBBLED UP LIGHT DOUGH YOU HAVE TO FRY IT. THIS DOUGH IS FLAKY AND SORT OF LIKE A BISCUIT.
  • 8. Serve with guacamole, salsa, green chili sauce, sour cream, lettuce, and/or tomatoes.

STUFFED SOPAIPILLAS



Stuffed Sopaipillas image

The puffed pillow of fried bread called the sopaipilla was thought to be "invented" in Albuquerque over 200 years ago. A good thing made even better when stuffed with a wonderful bean and green chile sauce mixture. Another lovely recipe I am dying to try from Bueno's website. Sopaipillas and chile? YUM, say it isnt so! Makes eight 12oz servings according to their website listing. :) Can't wait to find out - now off to locate the mix! ***PLEASE NOTE that the Bueno sopaipilla mix and green chile sauce are not recognized on Zaar, so please be sure that is what you are using, not just any baking mix or plain green chile. It will not be the same. ;)

STUFFED SOPAPILLAS



Stuffed Sopapillas image

My mom has made these for as long as I can remember. I didn't know till I was married that sopapillas are usually a dessert. They take a little work and practice, but it is well worth it! If they are made correctly They should puff up with a hollow center. If yours don't puff up like they are suppose to just pile the filling on top like a Navajo taco!!
