The Oaxacan tlayudas have increasingly captured the attention of Mexicans, because this rich Mexican preparation originating from the Central Valleys of Oaxacait has begun to spread in states where it was unknown or had a wrong idea of what it was. This typical dish from southern Mexico consists of a huge omeletteof about 30 centimeters or more, which has the toast texture.
To make them, regularly Oaxacan women make them by handstretching a ball of white corn dough until obtaining a large and very thin tortilla that they heat in clay comales until leave them well browned. In Oaxaca they are bought in any market, but in other states you have to look in specialized stores where they sell products originating from this state.
you could make them at home, preparing the dough for corn tortillas and rolling it out as much as you can, but you must be patient because by extending them too much, they obtain a less thick consistency and it is possible that they break. Try to make it at least the diameter of your comal, so that it looks like a delicious tlayuda and add the ingredients that we share below, you will love them!
