Thick handmade corn masa cakes stuffed with cheese, beans, or chicharron, griddled and served with curtido.
Why It Works
The thick masa shell gets crispy on the griddle while staying soft inside; the melted cheese creates pockets of stretchy, savory filling; curtido's vinegar tang is the essential acidic foil.
