Memelas, also known as memelitas, are fried or toasted cakes made of masa topped with different fresh ingredients eaten as antojitos or snacks in the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Tlaxcala, and Puebla, Mexico, which have their origins in prehispanic food. They are similar to fresh corn tortilla, but are slightly thicker and usually shaped in an oblong oval.
