About Memelitas

Memelitas are a traditional Mexican dish, originating from the Oaxaca region, celebrated for their simplicity and flavor. They consist of small, handmade corn masa tortillas topped with a layer of refried black beans and crumbled queso fresco. Often garnished with salsa, avocado slices, or fresh herbs like cilantro, Memelitas feature proteins, fiber, and essential nutrients from the beans and corn. The dish boasts a low fat content when prepared traditionally, though toppings like cheese or sour cream can increase saturated fat levels. They are naturally gluten-free and provide slow-digesting carbs, making them a good source of long-lasting energy. Memelitas not only deliver a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine but also showcase the balance of wholesome ingredients central to many Mexican recipes. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, they are both satisfying and versatile.
