‘Papadzules’ are a traditional dish of the state of the Yucatán peninsula, their name comes from Mayan and can be translated as ‘el alimento del amo’😮 or the food of the master.
This dish has a mixture of ingredients that results in an exceptional flavour.😋
It’s originally made with egg filling, but for this vegan version💚, I substituted the egg for potato🥔 seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic.
