Probablly. You can make them with freshly rendered Manteca (available at the meat counter of most Mexican markets), butter or low fat using broth. However the freshly rendered manteca tastes best-the old pork fat rules thing. If you are vegetarian veg or mushroom broth works-just as long as you have some chiles on top. Actually you can add some of Jim's Applewood Smoked Red Savina to the masa for seriously attention getting sopes.
