Tlayuda

📍 Los Angeles Oaxacan Mexican $$

at Guelaguetza

"Guelaguetza's tlayuda is the Oaxacan open-faced tortilla with black beans, Oaxacan cheese, and choice of meat — the version with tasajo (dried beef) is the one to order. The beans are refried and spread on a crispy tortilla, the cheese melts over the top. This is the dish that represents Oaxacan cooking in Los Angeles."
