Molote is part of Mexican cuisine, especially within the category of antojitos (street snacks). It is a popular food in several states of Mexico. Molotes are considered a traditional dish from Oaxaca. Throughout their history, they have been compared to gorditas or closed quesadillas; however, they differ in both their basic ingredients and the variety of fillings they contain, such as fresh cheese, rajas (sliced chili peppers), potato, tinga, and others. One of the fundamental ingredients that gives molotes their characteristic crispy texture is the dough, along with potato. The dough is typically a unified mixture of nixtamalized corn masa, which is then deep-fried. Molotes are especially associated with the states of Oaxaca, Puebla and Veracruz, particularly the city of Papantla, Veracruz.
