About Tlayuda
Tlayuda is a traditional Oaxacan dish from Mexican cuisine, often referred to as "Mexican pizza." It features a large, thin, slightly crispy corn tortilla topped with a variety of ingredients. Common toppings include refried beans, shredded lettuce, avocado slices, tomato, quesillo (Oaxacan cheese), and a choice of protein such as thinly sliced steak, chorizo, or chicken. It’s typically garnished with salsa and sometimes herbs like cilantro for added flavor. Nutritionally, the tlayuda’s components offer a balance of macronutrients: beans provide fiber and protein, while avocado contributes healthy fats. However, more indulgent ingredients like cheese and fatty meats can increase its saturated fat content. A healthier version can be made by focusing on lean proteins, increasing the vegetable toppings, and moderating the cheese. Overall, tlayudas are a flavorful and versatile dish that can be customized to suit dietary preferences.
