A sopapilla is made as a pastry from wheat flour. A tortilla is (in
this context) most frequently made from unleavened finely ground corn.
So it's more like saying a cake is another kind of potato chip.

If a sopapilla is another "kind of tortilla", apparently everything
that isn't meat is a tortilla.
