Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hi, Anyone have a recipe for tlacoyitos? I think it is vegetarian (ova-lacto) or can be made so. Google gets me primarily web pages in Spanish and no recipes (receta). I don't speak Spanish but I could probably recognize a recipe and go from there.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 hi gary, this could be 'little tlacoyo " , ito on the end of the word translates little, as in burrito = little burro here's some info from http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/recipes/puebla/kgpueblacuis.html sounds like you might of had a version of this Tlacoyos: Blue corn is made into a dough , formed into an elongated shape while the customer watches, to the accompaniment of the patting sound of palms shaping the masa (the " heartbeat of Mexico " ). Well-seasoned refried beans are then tucked into the center and the filled corn patty is grilled on a dry comal. (This is a good snack if you're trying to go easy on fats.) The hot tlacoyo is then covered in your choice of a tasty red or green salsa and topped with chopped onions and shredded cheese. I think you're just going to have to go there to eat again and ask for the recipe!! <GRIN> If I was still in San Jose I'd take you to lunch and we'd get that recipe but I'm in Texas now so it's up to you dude! :>) peace, Angela ( the homesick for California girl ) who I am is fine, it's just this body that's disabled!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks for this Angela. I had looked for a bit yesterday on the net and my cookbooks as well for Gary. I even looked for " tlaco " but nothing much came up. The best I came up with was that this dish was basically an enclosed quesadilla type of food usually filled with beans and cheese - sometimes served with salsas and fresh creme. I even saw that some were filled with chorizo (a breakfast type of s@usage) and chichacorrones (which are fried pork fat and skin), both of which wouldn't be suitable around this group.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 When I had it I did ask if it had any meat and was vegetarian. They did say yes but I think everyone knows that in many (most?) restaurants not everyone may have the same understanding of what is meant by vegetarian. However the menu did not mention it having chorizo or chichacorrones. Thanks for looking around for the recipe! Gary --- subprong <subprong wrote: > Thanks for this Angela.

Hi Gary. For the record, I was trying to decipher the google translated pages (which can be tricky at times) so I'm not even sure if I am correct. It was a few conversations that I had read that made it sound like it was a filling for tlacoyitos or that the dish was served with one of the items. So it wasn't even a specific recipe. I also read that someone mentioned that they asked for cheese and creme (or something of the sort) to add fat to the dish which made it sound to me like it was a pretty healthy dish at its purest form. Still pretty unsure about it all. Thanks for looking around for the recipe! You always bring up interesting things so It was fun to search. Love the Mexican food. Hope you're able to replicate what you had at the restaurant. Please let us know if you find something equivalent and how it turned out.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 But you can get fake sausage, you know...Boca makes some and I think Morningside does as well, and you could just spice those heavily with cumin...betcha that'd work okay!
