For those who like a little more filling/topping to carb ratio, skip memelas and go for the snack with the equally fun name: tetelas.
Here’s the formula: Heat up a large corn tortilla on a comal, fill it with refried black beans and crema and queso fresco and whatever else you may desire, get it hot enough to turn the crema from solid to liquid, and then fold it into a neat little triangle.
While their shape may fool you into thinking these can be easily while walking, pause—remember that hot liquid crema?
You might want to sit (and grab a plate) for these.
The best also come from Itanoní Antojeria y Tortilleria, where you should get one with licorice-y, sarsaparilla-y hoja santa—the fragrant herb perfectly balances the richness of the cheese and crema.
