Chef previously shared his recipe for Shrimp Aguachile and today, it’s Fava Bean Tlacoyo.

The griddled masa patty, tlacoyo, is one of the most famous street foods of Mexico City. Chef Montiel has created a seasonal riff on the dish by incorporating fava beans into the patty, which he serves with guajillo salsa and queso fresco.

Chef Montiel has worked in some of New York City’s most influential kitchens alongside Chefs like Josh Capon, Jodi Williams and Giorgio DeLuca, founder of Dean and Deluca and owner of Gorgione.

At Cantina Rooftop, Chef has created a contemporary menu that features the famous street foods of Mexico City, inspired by his old-world family recipes.
