Tlayudas

In the state of Oaxaca they have a special tortilla, ingredients are almost the same but they cook the tortillas and then they pile them up and wait for customers. Doesn't sound that different right?

Well, they stack them and have them cool to the point of the tortillas being hard. When a customer wants a tlayuda, they would smear some frijoles refritos, put some recado, col, salsa, cecina (salted pork) and queso blanco, fold it and warm it on the coals. Sounds like a taco, but just look at the pictures for the size of it. It doesn´t fit the long plate where they are served. Cost a mere $35 pesos each. Can be the equivalent of 4 or 5 tacos.

This week I´m fortunate to have a small Oaxaca fair near my house and they have all kind of food from that state, yesterday I had some enchiladas de mole, mmmmhhh, yummmy.
