We were treated to a typical Mexican Independence day feast, at two different houses. Tlacoyo was the best. It is an elliptical shaped blue flour tortilla folded double and stuffed with either cheese or refried beans and then garnished with nopales (diced cactus leaves with thorns shaved off)which are either cooked or pickled, cheese, meat, and salsa. They were very tasty, but not really our favorite thing in Mexican cuisine.
The other delicacy we tried was Tostada pata de res, we didn’t get a photo of this, but pata de res is the back foot of a cow, boiled, shredded, and cooked with onions and some spices. It is served cold on a tostada shell with cheese and salsa, It is very chewy, and reminded me of pickled octopus.
