Belizean Garnaches image

I love this street vendor dish, although I wish I could try it right in Belize! Day old or stale corn tortillas are preferred as they have a lower moisture content and fry up better. There are other toppings that you can use on this but I like this traditional version. Enjoy!

The cabbage slaw was a great addition to the garnaches. It added a nice freshness and crunch.
