Tlayudas

Tlayudas stand out as a Oaxacan giant crispy tortilla spread with black bean paste, asiento (unrefined pork fat), Oaxacan cheese, and a choice of protein—most authentically tasajo jerked beef—making it one of the most distinctive antojito formats in Mexico. The tlayudas served at the 20 de Noviembre market in Oaxaca City at midnight are an essential culinary experience, where the tortilla is crisped on a comal and loaded with local ingredients. This dish’s regional uniqueness and hearty composition make it a standout for adventurous eaters seeking authentic Oaxacan street food.
