In the Papaloapan Basin region, it is very common for families with small farms to plant and harvest this tuber. Cassava tortillas are usually eaten on their own in local homes, as they believe this is the best way to enjoy them. Sometimes, bean paste is added. These tortillas have a different texture compared to nixtamal tortillas; they are a bit elastic.
