Tlayudas

Tlayudas are traditional Mexican dishes originating from Oaxaca. They are large, thin, crispy tortillas made from corn masa, similar to a pizza crust. Typically, they are toasted until slightly crunchy and then topped with ingredients like refried beans, meats (such as tasajo or chorizo), cheese (often Oaxaca cheese), lettuce, avocado, and various salsas or sauces. Tlayudas are usually folded in half for easier eating and are enjoyed as a main meal or street food. Their combination of flavors and textures makes them a popular and flavorful representation of Mexican culinary heritage.
