Romeritos

Description

Romeritos is a traditional dish from the southern parts of the country, usually prepared during the festive Christmas season and Lent. The name of the dish comes from a wild plant with the same name, similar to rosemary in appearance, and to spinach in terms of its tart and slightly salty flavor. The dish appears on the tables of both rich and poor people, and is usually prepared in a thick mole sauce with potatoes, nopales cactus, and dried shrimp patties.
