About Memela de cochinita
Memela de Cochinita is a traditional Mexican dish originating from Oaxaca, celebrated for its flavorful simplicity. This hearty snack features a thick, handmade corn masa base, lightly toasted on a griddle, and topped with a layer of refried black beans, succulent cochinita pibil (slow-cooked, marinated pork flavored with achiote and citrus), pickled red onions, and a sprinkle of fresh cheese or crema. The corn masa provides dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium, while the pork offers a rich source of protein. However, its preparation often involves generous seasoning and moderate fat content, which should be considered in balanced diets. The pickled onions add a zesty, probiotic-rich contrast that supports digestion. Memelas de Cochinita embody the bold, regional flavors of Mexican cuisine, making them a satisfying, albeit indulgent, treat when enjoyed in moderation.
