Tlayudas offer a complex and satisfying flavor profile, combining smoky, earthy, and savory notes with fresh and vibrant accents.
The distinct flavor comes from the large, crispy tortilla, which has a slightly toasted and sometimes smoky taste. The asiento (unrefined pork lard) adds a rich, savory depth. Black bean paste contributes an earthy and slightly sweet flavor, while the quesillo (Oaxacan string cheese) provides a mild, milky, and slightly salty element. The shredded lettuce and tomatoes offer freshness and a crisp counterpoint to the richer ingredients. Depending on the toppings, the dish can include spicy salsa, grilled meats (such as tasajo, cecina, or chorizo), and avocado, each adding their unique flavor dimensions.
