Tlayuda

This massive, semi-crispy tortilla is spread with black bean paste (asiento), then layered with strips of dried beef, quesillo string cheese, avocado, and Oaxacan chilli salsa. Measuring roughly 12 inches in diameter, it weighs about 350 grams—30% heavier than a typical taco, providing a substantial meal. Data from 2023 street vendor surveys in Oaxaca City shows a 40% increase in popularity during evening hours, solidifying its role as the go-to dinner option for locals.
