Origins

Spaniards introduced wheat, sugar, and goat's milk to Mexico around 500 years ago.[3] They originated mainly in Villa de Seris, a city in Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico in 1954.[1] They can now be found all over the world. In the US, they can be found in most Mexican supermarkets.[3]

The meaning of the name "coyota" is a mestiza (of Spanish and native heritage) dark skinned and full of grace.[1]

Ingredients
  • all purpose flour
  • water
  • salt
  • shortening
  • piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar made of molasses)[1]

Preparation

First, all the ingredients (see above) are mixed together. Next, Shortening and water are added to the mixture to thicken the consistency a bit. The dough is then made into small balls which are then filled to the consumers preference. They are then baked in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes.[1]

Coyotas tend to be accompanied with milk, coffee, hot chocolate, or tea. Sometimes even topped with whip cream.[4]

gollark: If I took your mindstate and swapped out stuff like "likes helping people" and "likes some type of art" for "enjoys murdering people for fun" and "regularly abducts and tortures people" would that be "you"?
gollark: If my values were randomly remapped so I'd be a better pet, it wouldn't meaningfully be "me".
gollark: Same thing but just bored.
gollark: - it would work fine because ??? handwave and I'd be stuck in the constant barely-not-dying state of all wild animals for several years, probably incredibly bored and stressed at the same time, until I die of some wild animal thing.
gollark: See, if my mind were somehow stuck into a rabbit or something then either:- the limited rabbit brain wouldn't be able to support most of it. "I" would be stuck as a rabbit with a vague longing for missing things "I" can't actually understand
