Pelonas · Puebla
A small bread roll deep fried until the crust turns brittle, split and filled with refried beans, shredded beef, lettuce and cream. The contrast between hot bread and cold crema is the point.
The pelona is the most Pueblan sandwich after the cemita and the least exported. The roll goes into hot fat whole, which turns the crust brittle and slightly greasy in a way that would be a fault anywhere else and is the whole appeal here. It is then split, spread with refried beans, filled with shredded beef or chicken, and finished with lettuce, salsa and a heavy spoon of crema. Antojitos Acapulco on 5 Poniente fries them to order for around thirty pesos, and Comal on 16 de Septiembre serves a tidier version at about forty-nine.
