📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Güirila is a specialty of the mountainous north of Nicaragua: batter of ground young corn is cooked thick on a griddle into a slightly sweet pancake. It's rolled up with cuajada, a salty white fresh cheese, or sour cream. It's sold at roadside stalls during the corn harvest.
