Getaperde

Getaperde is a traditional Mexican dish originating from the state of Oaxaca. The name "getaperde" is derived from the Nahuatl language, where "geta" means "shoe" and "perde" means "lost." This name reflects the dish's origins as a street food sold by vendors who would lose their shoes while selling the dish. The dish consists of a tortilla filled with a mixture of beans, cheese, and sometimes other ingredients like meat or vegetables. It is typically served with a side of salsa or hot sauce. Getaperde is a popular street food in Oaxaca and is often enjoyed as a quick and affordable meal. The dish is known for its simplicity and the unique blend of flavors from the various ingredients used. Despite its humble beginnings, getaperde has gained popularity beyond Oaxaca and is now enjoyed in other parts of Mexico and even internationally.
