Tortilla Santiagueña

Tortilla santiagueña is a type of flatbread consisting of wheat flour, melted cow fat, and coarse salt. The dough is typically baked on a parrilla until nicely brown. A classic Argentine treat, these tortillas are typical for the north of the country, but are especially popular in Santiago del Estero, where they are sold as street food on almost every corner. They are consumed hot, either on their own or with a ham and cheese filling, and usually accompanied by a cup of mate.
