The first time Leo and I drove from the Cancun airport to Mahahual to dive Chinchorro we grossly underestimated how long it would take, how hungry we would get along the way, and thankfully how much gas the rental van would need. By the time we got south of Sian Ka'an nature preserve - where you turn onto the very scary little road that takes you back to the coast - we were out of gas and starving. We pulled into a gas station and there was a woman with a comal and some pots and things assembling little taquitos, which her daughter carried over to all patrons in a flat basket and offered for sale. Those little tacos were the best thing ever, and I think they saved our lives. Here is my version ... I realized I don't provide measurements on the toppings - those are to taste ...
