Tlacoyo [t͡ɬaˈkoʝo] is an oval shaped fried or toasted cake made of masa. Somewhat torpedo-shaped they are fatter than fresh corn tortillas and stuffed with refried beans cheese fava beans chicharron or other ingredients. Tlacoyos are often served as an accompaniment to soups and stews or as appetizers for celebrations. Most traditional tlacoyos do not have lard or salt in the masa and if not eaten immediately after they are cooked they become very tough and dry even if reheated.
