Memelas

Oblong masa patties from the Valle Central de Oaxaca, topped with bean paste, Oaxacan cheese, and salsa and cooked on a comal, are the breakfast street food of the Oaxacan market system and one of the most ancient antojito forms still eaten daily in Mexico. The memelas at Oaxaca's Mercado Benito Juárez served by the same families since the market's founding in 1893 are the definitive version.
