Guajolota [waːxoːloːta] also known as a torta de tamal is a form of street food commonly found in Mexico City and within the State of Mexico. It is essentially a sandwich composed of a tamal placed inside a bolillo or telera, which is a rounder version of a bolillo.[1] Vendors are commonly found selling tortas de tamal near offices, markets, schools, and particularly near churches on Sunday mornings. Most vendors sell a variety of tamales stuffed with different ingredients, such as red mole with chicken or salsa verde with pork, to go along with the bolillo.
Guajolotas are frequently bought with a hot drink known as atole, which comes in a variety of flavors.
The term guajolota is the feminized version of the word guajolote, which originates from the Nahuatl word huexolotl[2] or uexolotl[3], for turkey. Turkeys are called guajolotes throughout Mexico and some Central American countries like Guatemala. However the term is interchangeable with pavo which is the common Spanish word for turkey.
