Biznaga (a kind of barrel cactus) is a round cactaceae of big size, whose pulp is used to prepare acitrón sweet, to cook stews, or in desserts. Its flower buds, called cabuches, are cooked and served as vegetables or as ingredients in salsas, pickled in brine, or in other stews. And of course, there are the guamiches, which are the fruits of the biznaga, used for fresh flavored waters, ice cream, desserts, and jams. There is a very small type of biznaga whose fruits are eaten as snacks, called chilitos (small chili peppers) for their shape and color. Nopales are another kind of cactus, whose pencas (stalks) are eaten tender, either grilled, cooked, or in soups, salads, salsas and other stews. When the pencas are “recias” (big and mature), their insides are cooked in a preparation called “nopales’ hearts”. The prickly pears, or the fruits from nopales, are also eaten as snacks, or used to prepare fresh flavored water, ice cream, prickly pear cheese, melcocha and syrups. Xoconostles are a sort of prickly pears of sour flavor, used to prepare broths, moles and sauces, to accompany mezcal, or to produce sweets. From the bilberry cactus (Image 53), we mainly eat its pink colored and sweet flavored fruits, preparing jams, fresh flavored water, ice cream, popsicles and raisins with them. The flowers are also edible, fried as chips or included in soups or stews. Chochas are the flowers from the yucca, which are cooked with eggs to stuff bocoles, or served in salsas. KID It is the baby goat that has been fed solely with milk and is no older than 6 months of age. It is cooked in different ways; grilled, roasted, in beer, in red chili pepper, in sour orange, in mustard, in its own juices and in its own blood. TYPICAL DISHES AND BEVERAGES BOCOLES These are small corn gorditas with lard, which inflate when cooked making it easier to cut them open and stuff them with some kind of stew, like beans, chicharrón, nopales, or chochas with eggs. SESAME SEED ENCHILADAS These are freshly made corn tortillas, which are soaked in a sesame seed and piquín chili pepper sauce, decorated with grated fresh cheese. SAN LUIS POTOSÍ MEZCALES BILBERRY CACTUS CABUCHES ENCHILADAS POTOSINAS MINER’S SEASONING / GASTRONOMIC ROUTE GASTRONOMIC RESOURCES ENCHILADAS POTOSINAS These are small tortillas made with corn masa mixed with ancho chili pepper, which gives them a particular orange color. Still raw, they are stuffed with cheese and red salsa to then fold them, seal them and put them to cook on a comal. They are served decorated with grated cheese, onions, cream and avocado. FIAMBRE POTOSINO This cold dish is prepared with pork cheese, beef tongue, pork loin, fresh cheese, lettuce and onions, which are all served in thin slices, seasoned with a vinaigrette and cured güero chili peppers. ZACAHUIL This is a big tamale that can feed up to a hundred or more people. It is prepared with mashed corn masa, chino and piquín chili peppers, one pig’s meat, and wrapped in banana and papatla leaves, cooking it all inside a conventional oven for several hours. The dish is served in individual portions with shredded meat on top, over a piece of banana leaf. MEAD It is the sweet sap of transparent color obtained every day from the magueys pulqueros, which should be drunk the same day it was collected as it will quickly ferment and transform into pulque. This beverage is very common in Real de Catorce. MEZCAL This is a liquor obtained from the agave, accredited with Designation of Origin, and made from the pines or hearts of the agavero maguey, which are roasted in ground ovens to then mash them and leave them to ferment. The fermented juice is distilled and so, the mezcal is obtained. This beverage is consumed on its own in one of its three variants (white, rested or aged), accompanied with salt and xoconostles. JOBITO This beverage is handcrafted from jobos (creole plums) mashed in sugarcane liquor with sugar, and served really cold as a digestive after meals.
