"Tlayuda at Broken Spanish is a wood-fired open-faced tortilla with heirloom beans, tasajo (air-dried beef), and Oaxacan cheese. The tortilla is made on a comal, then placed in the wood oven until it has structure. The beans are cooked until they are creamy, the tasajo is sliced thin. This is Oaxacan food elevated without apology."

"The tlayuda is the dish that proves Broken Spanish understands its source material. The beans are the point — they must be cooked until they are soft enough to spread but substantial enough to hold their shape on the tortilla. The tasajo requires a specific preparation that involves air-drying and then rehydration. The Oaxacan cheese is applied in the correct quantity."
