  • There is so much to see and do in Oaxaca. But, honestly, you could visit this city in central Mexico just to eat. We took a great big bite out of Oaxaca, indulging in the filling comfort of tlayuda (a traditional dish that's a lot like pizza), the sweet taste of prickly pear ice cream (born out of wild cacti) and lots more tasty treats. Check out some of our favorite eats in the city. #GreatBigBites

    Oaxaca wasn't founded by Aztecs. Aztecs are a completely different culture from the southern part of Mexico. It was founded by Mixtec and then occupied by Zapotecs. Edit. Founded by Zapotecs and then occupied by Mixtecs.

    • @onegrapefruitlover
      @onegrapefruitlover 4 года назад +18

      It kinda was. Monte Albán was a Zapotec city, but the city of Oaxaca itself was founded by the Mexicas after the last Mexica-Zapotec war, where the territory was conquered by the Mexicas.
      It sounded weird to me too when I heard it, but it seems to be the truth.

      Gringoes do not care about the difference between pre Hispanic tribes.
      To them Incas, Mayas, Aztecas, Zapotecas, Chichimecas and Toltecas are the same thing.

    Tlayudas are the most amazing thing I have ever tasted in my life. I've yet to find a single place here in the USA that sells them, which is honestly depressing. They're like the most incredible "Mexican pizza", for lack of better words, that you could imagine. The Oaxacan cheese that covers them is tangy with a texture like a very firm mozzarella, and the tortillas end up at a unique point between crispy and soft due to the way they are grilled over a fire. In all of my time travelling throughout Mexico, I can say that Tlayudas are the greatest thing I had and are the thing I crave most since moving back.

    Many people say that they make the same dishes here in places like California, Texas, Arizona, NM and so on but the one thing that they just can’t get right is that certain rustic part that really hits home with Mexican food, many times when people say what’s your favorite Mexican restaurant is difficult to answer cause the best food usually is made by mother, that or some friend of my mom who makes food and sells, i think it’s the more niche dishes that really are amazing, that not many people other than Mexicans know of, and with different regions there is just a mountain of different flavors that can’t be replicated here in the states.

    Mexican Pizza is really similar to a dish "Pizza Quesadilla" that is fantastic for camping or a simple dinner:
    - Put a flour tortilla in a hot pan.
    - Drop in mozzarella cheese on the tortilla.
    - Spoon in some pizza sauce.
    - Add toppings.
    - Fold over
    - Flip after the first half of the tortilla browns a bit.
    - Once the other half browns, enjoy!
    We eat this every time we go camping. It's only creates one dish + one spatula that need cleaning and is a very satisfying dinner.

    My parents are from Oaxaca but I've never heard of these foods. It could be that they never lived in the city, they lived in very small and poor villages

      This is pretty much in dowtown, the whole state itself has so much much gastronomic diversity it's hard to keep the count

      It could also be that they live somewhere where the ingridients aren't available and they never thought of making them. You should really go and soak in the culture there, it's sad when you have such rich heritage and haven't had that connection and familiarity with it. Sometimes migrant parents become focused on instilling the host countries culture and unfortunately some things aren't passed on.

    I'd probably like the prickly pear ice cream. The rest I wouldnt mind trying but look more like something youd love if you were raised on it.
