Tasajo is the thin-sliced, salt-cured beef that defines the Pasillo de Humo grill alley at Mercado 20 de Noviembre, smoking over wood coals every lunchtime. The meat is hung at the butcher counters along the alley, weighed by the kilo, then walked to the grill stand to char with cebollitas, cactus paddles and chiles de agua. Served with avocado, tortillas and salsa, it is the canonical Oaxacan lunch.
