Bandera de México

/Sounds like "tlah" + "KOH" (as in "coal") + "yoh" (as in "yo")/

A thick, oval corn masa patty stuffed with beans, fava beans, or requesón cheese, cooked on a comal and topped with salsa. It's pre-Hispanic food that lives on in Mexican markets as a testament to ancestral cuisine.

Example
