Guajolotes de Tulancingo

Despite the name, which means 'turkey', the classic version has no turkey in it at all: it is a bread roll stuffed with enchiladas.
A telera roll spread with refried beans and filled with red or green enchiladas, cheese and lettuce; newer versions add chicken, milanesa or sausage. Sold at stands and small shops around Tulancingo.
Why it's made this way: Local tradition places its birth at a stall under the portales of Tulancingo, Hidalgo, around the 1940s, and the state tourism board features it in promoting the city as a Pueblo con Sabor.
