Oaxaca Pizza

Pizza-Mexico? Sure, it is a traditional Oaxacan cuisine, a simple street food. I first saw it from some American friends who have moved there with their two children. The kids liked it, so it must be good!-Mike

Is it a pizza? Well, it is served on a large crispy corn tortilla and sometimes open-faced, resembling a pizza. Like most street foods and those that are found on restaurant menus, ingreidents vary from cook to cook and city to city.
