Totopo

Description

Totopo is a Mexican corn tortilla chip with variable sizes, characterized by numerous holes in the dough. It originates from the Zapotec people in the region of Oaxaca, where the chips are traditionally baked in a clay oven known as a comixcal . Crispy and dry, the tortillas can be cut into various shapes depending on their usage: large pieces can be used for dips, squares can be used as toppings and in a dish called migas , while strips are ideal for soups, salads, and garnishing.
