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. At 500 grams and roughly 600 calories per serving, it is 40% heavier than #1 Tacos al Pastor, offering a more substantial meal ideal for late-night hunger. 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.
