POLLO OAXACA
The southern region of Oaxaca, Mexico is known as the land of siete moles or seven moles. I developed this chicken dish using the herbs and tomatillos needing to be used up. This is also known as a verde mole. It's an interesting taste difference using the mole both cooked and in the raw form in this dish. Serve alongside a Mexican style rice and a green salad.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chicken, and season with oregano, minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the chicken is lightly browned. Stir in the onion, then cover and reduce heat to low.
- Place tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, whole garlic, lime juice, and salt in a blender. Pulse to a chunky consistency. Pour half of the tomatillo mixture over the chicken. Continue simmering until chicken is tender, 35 to 40 minutes more. Serve with remaining sauce and top with Monterey Jack cheese.

- Tlayudas. The most famous of all Oaxaca street food... but just what is a tlayuda (pronounced tuh-lie-you-da)? Known as the Mexican pizza, because, well, they do look like one, the similarities definitely end there.
- Tamales Oaxaqueños. Tamales are eaten all over Mexico, though tamales oaxaqueños (Oaxacan tamales) are made a little different. In all of Mexicn cuisine, a tamal consists of a masa (corn) mixture, which is placed in a corn husk and steamed to cook.
- Memelas. Memelas (pronounced mem-ell-uhs) are unique to Oaxaca, and its neighboring state of Chiapas Mexico, but found in few other Mexico states.
- Tetelas. These stuffed, triangular-shaped snacks are a popular Oaxaca breakfast food, and a lunchtime appetizer or snack. They are less commonly eaten as a street food than memelas, but are just as delicious, and traditionally, vegetarian.
- Tejate. Tejate (pronounced tay-ha-tay) is a prehispanic chocolate/corn drink. While, admittedly, that combo doesn’t sound appetizing, this centuries-old drink has stood the taste test of time.

- Tlayudas. The oft-nicknamed “Oaxacan pizza,” a tlayuda consists of a large semi-dried tortilla, sometimes glazed with a thin layer of unrefined pork lard called asiento, and topped with refried beans (frijol), tomatoes, avocadoes, and some variation of meat (chorizo, tasajo or cencilla, or shredded chicken tinga).
- Huitlacoche Corn Fungus Tacos. Huitlacoche is a corn fungus, but I prefer the term “corn smut”. Earthy, mushroomy, huitlacoche is also very much a texture play.
- Enfrijoladas. Enfrijoladas are essentially fried tortillas served with beans and sauce. The key in Oaxaca is that the beans are stewed with the leaves of the local avocado plant (see more below in the ingredients section).
- Memelas (Memelitas) A memela is corn round snack or antojito (“little craving”) a little thicker than a tortilla, toasted on a comal (large, flat hot pan) and topped with all manner of stuff: beans, quesillo (local stringy, brined cheese), bits of ground pork with spices or eggs, and various sauces of differing heat levels.
- Tetelas. A tetela is a thin stuffed corn tortilla folded into triangle. Tetelas recommendation in Oaxaca: Check out the tetelas with refried beans (frijoles) at Itanoni on Belisario Domínguez 513, Colonia Reforma, a laid back little place that specializes in the finer and artisanal points of corn masa and all that’s made with it.
- Tacos. I know, I know. Tacos are broadly Mexican food not specific to Oaxaca. But damn if we didn’t get some of the best tacos on the planet during our stay in town.
- Tamales (traditional, corn husk) Again, I know traditional tamales are very much a broadly Mexican dish, but get yourself to Oaxaca and check out the tamale recommendation from our landlord (who was also our dentist!).
- Tamales Oaxaqueños (or Tamales Hoja) Banana leaf-wrapped tamales. They look like South American humitas, but they are the Oaxacan alternative leaf-wrapped tamales.
- Beer Snacks. The greatest budget travel tip in the world is right here, people. Go to the right bar in Oaxaca, order a beer for around $2 and eat all night for free.
- Carnes Asada (cecina, tasajo or chorizo) Meat-lovers rejoice. Be certain to check out the pasillo de carnes asadas (grilled meats hall) in Oaxaca’s 20 de Noviembre market.
8 ESSENTIAL FOODIE EXPERIENCES IN OAXACA CITY MEXICO
From foodfuntravel.com
Estimated Reading Time 9 mins
- Take a Oaxacan Cooking Class & Eat Mole. Taking a cooking class is always one of our favorite ways to get a real feel for a culinary region. Learn about local ingredients and get an experienced chef or cook to help you understand what goes together and why.
- Eat Oaxacan Cheese – Quesillo. Quesillo is a white stringy and creamy cheese and is regarded as one of the best cheeses in Mexico. If you are visiting Oaxaca it’s almost impossible to miss it as it’s in every market, on most menus and included in a number of dishes – I even had a dish called “salsa de queso” which was simply a block of quesillo drowned in hot tomato sauce.
- Visit A Traditional Oaxaca Cooked Food Market. Oaxaca has all different types of market. Visiting a local market is definitely one of the top things to do in Oaxaca.
- Eat Chapulines (Fried Crickets) Eating insects may not be on everyone’s bucket list. But in Oaxaca, chapulines are a staple food. Crunchy and salty, they make a great addition to guacamole, quesadillas, or just as a snack.
- Learn The Story of Mezcal – Distilled Agave Spirit. Mezcal is a spirit distilled from agave. Tequila is actually a type of Mezcal, made from the blue agave in the state of Jalisco.
- Eat Oaxacan Pizza. The first thing to know about Oaxacan pizza is, it’s not too much like pizza… They take a giant thin tortilla, cover it in mashed beans and quesillo cheese, perhaps some salad, then they throw it on the BBQ until the cheese melts.
- Try Locally Made Microbrew Craft Beer. The Mexico craft beer scene has been growing fast in the last few years. La Santisma often refers to themselves as a “nano-brewery” because this really is very small production.
- Drink The Best Mezcal Cocktails in Oaxaca City Mexico. Our personal top choice of all things to do in Oaxaca… For a truly modern Oaxacan drinking experience though, Mezcal cocktails are the gateway to the world of Mezcal.
10 BEST OAXACA CHEESE SUBSTITUTES - SUBSTITUTE COOKING
From substitutecooking.com
- Mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella cheese is very similar to Mexican Oaxaca cheese and just might be less salty. Buffalo mozzarella, mozzarella’s creamier relative, is the best substitute for Oaxaca cheese.
- String cheese. String cheese is actually the easiest accessible cheese to use in place of Oaxaca because it has a slightly creamy, yet stringy consistency and a salty taste.
- Unaged Monterey Jack cheese. Oaxaca has a mild flavor and can be compared to unaged Monterey Jack cheese, which is also a mild cheese that melts well.
- Muenster cheese. Muenster cheese is a semi-soft cheese from the United States. It is known for being great for melting and in recipes because of its mild flavor.
- Asadero cheese. Asadero cheese is another Mexican, semi-firm cheese, giving it a slightly different texture to Oaxaca cheese. However, it is still working well with tacos, enchiladas, and tostadas.
- Homemade Oaxaca cheese. Although this takes a lot more effort than finding a cheese substitute, it is possible to make your own Oaxaca cheese. It is so similar to mozzarella, so you can find many recipes online.
- Cheddar curds. Cheese curds are the mass that is separated from the whey once the milk is boiled. And it is essentially unfermented, slightly squeaky cheese.
- Armenian Style string cheese. Armenian Style String Cheese is a great type of cheese to use instead of Oaxaca because it’s incredibly similar in both taste and texture.
- Queso Panela. Queso Panela is another white Mexican cheese with a smooth texture. You can usually find it in salads or quesadillas, which makes it a good substitute for Oaxaca cheese.
- Ricotta Salata. This cheese does not have exactly the same texture as Oaxaca cheese. However, its salty, savory taste makes it a great substitute for Oaxaca cheese.
MEXICAN OAXACAN CUISINE: 15 AUTHENTIC OAXACA FOODS & DRINKS
From travelmexicosolo.com
- Mole (7 Moles of Oaxaca) Wondering, What is Oaxaca known for? It’s the seven moles you’ll find below — and you really can’t even discuss Oaxacan Mexican cuisine without mentioning mole (pronounced moe-lay).
- Tlayuda. Tlayudas (pronounced tuh-lie-you-das) are the most beloved of all Oaxaca street food. If you’re wondering, What is a tlayuda? Well, they are often referred to as a Mexican pizza, because they do look like a pizza — though there’s no similarities in flavor to Italian pizza.
- Tamales Oaxaqueños. Tamales are eaten almost everywhere in Mexico, though tamales oaxaqueños (Oaxacan tamales) are made a bit different. In Mexico, a tamal consists of a masa (corn) mixture, which is often covered in a salsa or sauce, and steamed to cook.
- Memelas. Memelas (pronounced mem-ell-uhs) are the most beloved Oaxaca antojitos (little snacks). Commonly eaten earlier in the day for breakfast and lunch, memelas are basically open face tacos, though they use a thicker tortilla, similar to that of a sope.
- Tetelas. Tetelas (pronounced tet-tell-uhs) are triangular-shaped hand pies. For Oaxaca vegetarian foods, these will be a go to. They are traditionally just stuffed with a black bean paste, a common Oaxacan black beans preparation, and quesillo string cheese.
- Enmoladas & Enfrijoladas. Enchiladas are one of the most popular Mexican foods, found throughout the entire country. They are essentially tortillas stuffed with everything from beans and veggies to meat and cheese, plated and covered in salsa.
- Carne Asada. No visit to Oaxaca is complete without checking out the Pasillo de Carnes Asadas (Grilled Meats Hall AKA Oaxaca Meat Market) in Mercado 20 de Noviembre.
- Queso Oaxaca. In Mexico, queso oaxaca (Oaxaca cheese) is very well known, and it’s even gaining popularity in the U.S. It is a string cheese that looks like a ball of fresh mozzarella, but has a saltier or more briny taste, similar to Monterey jack cheese.
- Chapulines. Eating chapulines (grasshoppers) dates back to prehispanic times. These small insects are high in protein, fat-free and available for much of the year, so they were an integral part of the ancestral diet throughout Central Mexico.
- Tejate. Tejate (pronounced tay-ha-tay) is a centuries-old chocolate and corn drink. While that flavor combo may not sound appetizing, this ancient drink has stood the taste test of time!
