The Mexican Chanclas appetizers (Chanclas Poblanas)
The chanclas poblanas are similar to the tortas ahogadas from Jalisco, the difference is in what filling is used, and the bread buns themselves which are smaller and powdered with some flour. In english, the word chanclas translates to sandals; let’s take a look at one of the recipes for traditional Chanclas Poblanas.
