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.
