Garnacha

(Garnachas)

Garnacha is a Mexican dish originating from Oaxaca, in an area known as the Isthmus. The dish consists of a small masa dough disk that is fried in lard, then topped with stewed shredded meat, onions, salsa, queso fresco, and repollo – a combination of vinegar and cabbage.


Of course, chili peppers can also be added to the toppings, if desired. Nowadays, garnachas are a common street food in the region, but they are also a staple of the velas – a festival that celebrates the harvest season.
