Tlayuda con Tasajo

"The reference version for Mexico City. Ruiz grew up in Oaxaca making these. The quesillo is flown in weekly."

"Yuban's tlayuda con tasajo is the Oaxacan benchmark that chef Alma Guillen has been refining since she opened: a large baked tortilla with black bean, quesillo, and tasajo (air-dried beef). The masa is nixtamalized properly, the tasajo is from a specific Oaxacan supplier, and the baked tortilla achieves a char on the bottom and a flex in the center that defines what this dish should be."
