تعريف ومعنى "papadzules"

What is "papadzules"?

Papadzules is a traditional dish from the Yucatán Peninsula resembling enchiladas. It consists of corn tortillas dipped in a sauce of pepita (pumpkin seeds) filled with hard-boiled eggs, and garnished with a cooked tomato-pepper sauce. The name is something of a mystery. Papadzules brilliantly showcase core staples of the Mayan kitchen: corn, squash seeds, tomato, egg, and little else. Originally, the eggs would have been from wild and domesticated turkeys, chickens, ducks, and iguanas.
