The flatbread is made from corn flour, a staple in rural Basque kitchens since maize arrived from the Americas, well before wheat bread became common there.

Talo is a thick corn flatbread, cooked quickly on a hot griddle, then folded around a grilled txistorra sausage. Basque village festivals and market fairs griddle it to order over open coals.

Why it's made this way: Corn became a rural Basque staple centuries ago, and pairing the simple griddled flatbread with sausage turned it into festival street food.
