How to Enjoy Your Concha Like an East LA Local

In Mexican panadería tradition, a concha is rarely eaten alone. The tender crumb and sugary crust are designed to be dipped—chopear—into a hot beverage. Break off a shell segment and dip it briefly into steaming Café de Olla or velvety Champurrado to let the sugar melt slightly into the warm cinnamon liquid.
