Empalmes: Mexican Antojito


Empalmes are a delicacy in the town of Zuazua in Nuevo Leon, Mexico and are often served as a snack between meals.

Empalmes are known as an ‘Antojito’ in Mexico which translates to ‘little cravings’. These filled and grilled tortillas are simple to prepare yet deliciously addictive.

The main ingredients needed to create traditional Empalmes are:

- Pinto beans
- Fresh or dried piquin chiles
- Vegetable oil
- Fresh oregano leaves
- Corn tortillas

These days you may find Empalmes with many other fillings however this recipe is where it all began.
