tetela

A member of a Bantu ethnic group of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Bantu language of these people.

A triangular-folded masa pocket, filled with ingredients, eaten in the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Puebla, similar to corn tortillas, sope and huarache, but with different fillings.

They’re then ground into a homogeneous dough that holds whatever shape you choose to give it: thin circles for tortillas, thicker ones for gorditas and sopes, plump ovals for huaraches and triangles for black-bean stuffed tetelas.
