As I said I would share, here is the torta I made with the teleras. This torta is from the Nopalito cookbook, and this picture doesn’t do it justice. We were in such a hurry to eat these while hot, I barely glanced at the photo I took, and it was really dark in myContinueContinue reading “Tortas de Chilorio”
