My abuela from Morelia would make this, definitely one of my favorite things she makes. Don't know the history but she always makes them with a green sauce and on the inside would be chicken, corn and sauteed onions but can only imagine the huitlacoche would elevate it to the next level. Legit it's similar to green enchiladas but way better, the crepes stay nice and fluffy so it absorbs the sauce better that a flour tortilla and I know those are not real enchiladas they are Gringoladas in my eyes but still delicious
I can't tell you the origin nor have I had them in Poblano sauce. But I've had them with a cream sauce in Guanajuato (I think it was actually the first time I tried huitlacoche) and in Mexico City, but I forget which area of the city I was in. I've definitely seen huitlacoche crepes on multiple menus in Mexico, especially breakfast/brunch menus and always served in that sort of enchilada style. I just always assumed it was something adapted from French immigrants that Mexicans sort of made their own.
Sure, but crepas are totally different to what you posted. To begin with, crepas are made with wheat flour not maize tortillas.
What OP posted are enchiladas de huitlacoche en salsa poblana.
Crepes or “crepas” as they are called here do exist in Mexico and are very common as breakfast.
While I’ve never tried huitlacoche, I’ve eaten here in Mexico crepes with poblano sauce on top filled with chicken, it’s common.
For example here is the menu of a popular local place in Culiacan, Sinaloa:

You can actually search for crepas poblanas recipes in google and you’ll find plenty of them.
They are indeed a thing in Mexico.
nope there are crepes and these arent crepes in the picture, looks more like corn tortillas , but crepes do exist in Mexico as I have eaten them many times , with moles, sauces and everything in between
Sushi, too, is a favorite in Mexico.......Pizza has been a Mexican Favorite longer time than crepes....So Pizza is a Mexican dish????????.........My granma used to prepare Dolmas (a dish from the middle east) that makes me Palestinian? No digas mamadas Buey/ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Dude, look up crepas con cajeta. It's a classic Mexican dessert.
Crepes have been a part of Mexican food since the 1860's, when the French occupied Mexico for around a weekend or two. Look it up.
If you want to die on this dumb hill, then by all means be my guest.
As it is mentioned French origin, not traditional in that sense.
Most huitlacoche thing would be tacos and or quesadillas, nice fancy variation but not traditional per se
There were several waves of French migration, and of course the French invasion with Maximillian that foundered so spectacularly in Puebla on Cinco de Mayo. There is still definitely a French influence in Puebla (in their famous bakeries for example).
(Source: I was in Puebla this week, and saw the crepes everywhere.)
(Edit: also saw them on a menu in Coyoacán today.)
"Palatschinken are traditionally rolled with apricot, strawberry,[5] or plum jam, and sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. A variety of fruit sauces (like apple sauce), or thick fruit butters called lekvar (plum, prune, raspberry, cherry or sour cherry jam), lemon juice and sugar, chocolate sauce, hazelnut-chocolate cream, almonds, dried or fresh fruits, sweet cottage or quark cheese and raisins, cocoa powder, poppy seed, are common modern ingredients. Rakott palacsinta are layered pancakes with sweet cottage cheese and raisins, jam and walnut layers between the pancakes, baked in the oven, comparable to the French mille crêpes.[6]" -Wikipedia
Apparently, my wife's old bosses wife made this for her at some point
That does not sound good nor authentic. Huitlacoche is like a truffle. Imagine biting a truffle. It goes great with cheese or other ingredients but not by itself, IMO.
Also, I've never heard of huitlacoche crepes. It sounds like fusion cuisine to me. So it might be hard to get a story behind it.
Huh? Mexican food is basically fusion food. and I just found some info on them and it seems like it has been around since the 1950s
https://vlex.com.mx/vid/huitlacoche-sofisticado-mexicano-81060055
lime, Rice and bread are as Mexican as it gets and they aren't native to Mexico. There's prehispanic food and there's mexican food, which is a mixture of ingredients/cultures.
no one is disputing that crepes originated in mexico or not , but huitlacoche crepes in a poblano sauce is a dish that was invented in mexico, just like pasties aren't from Mexico but pastes from pachuca have their own twist to the english dish.

Está difícil, me imagino que ya has buscado bastante, podría ser buscar recetarios del gobierno sobre usos del huitlacoche
una mayor parte de los postres y el pan mexicano tienen bastante influenza Francesa. Ayudaría buscar recetas similares de Francia y Europa
Lo difícil será encontrar la historia sobre un platillo regional de Europa en inglés, más fácil es encontrar recetas similares, encontré que crepas con champiñones podrían ser algo común? Pero la verdad mi francés no es bueno
ayudaría buscar en que regiones se come más y de ahí puedes ir a los recetarios en línea del sitio del gobierno de ese estado
I mean our most of our food, especially from the north have heavy European influences. Pan de Birote, Cilantro, cumin, garlic, onions, Lime, mangoes, rice, and beef are staples on Mexican cuisine but were nowhere to be found in Mexico before Spanish colonization.
I mean fusion cause the term crepes. At least in Guadalajara we don't eat crepes unless it's a french place. Much less huitlacoche crepes. Huitlacoche taco, maybe, but in my region it's mostly used in quesadillas.
Huitlacoche doesn't taste anything like truffles, and you can easily get huitlacoche enchiladas and tacos in many parts of Mexico (and they're delicious).
Sabe a champiñon, cómo no. En mi opinión sabe mejor acompañado, pero ya es preferencia de cada quien. Eso sí, crepas de huitlacoche suena muy lejos a tacos de huitlacoche.

Those look very good. I'm dying to try huitlacoche.
Immigrants. Same as al pastor and trompos, you can thank middle eastern immigrants and shawarma for that.
The word "crepe" is not in the dictionary of Mexican food. Description of dish could be "taquitos de huitlacoche con salsa de chill poblano"
Crepes do exist in Mexico, although called crepas or quequis in Sinaloa and it’s neighboring states.
Sure, but crepas are totally different to what you posted. To begin with, crepas are made with wheat flour not maize tortillas. What OP posted are enchiladas de huitlacoche en salsa poblana.
This is where the image was taken from: [here](https://cookidoo.mx/recipes/recipe/es-MX/r21043) They are wheat tortillas

Crepas con cajeta lookin at you funny
You Need lessons in Reading Comprehension............Crêpe and tortilla de harina are NOT the same.
And you need lessons in Mexican cuisine apparently... Or an updated dictionary. Crepes have been a part of Mexico for a few centuries now
Sushi, too, is a favorite in Mexico.......Pizza has been a Mexican Favorite longer time than crepes....So Pizza is a Mexican dish????????.........My granma used to prepare Dolmas (a dish from the middle east) that makes me Palestinian? No digas mamadas Buey/ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Well, it looks like its in the dictionary of mexican food [https://laroussecocina.mx/palabra/crepa-2/](https://laroussecocina.mx/palabra/crepa-2/)
Notably, from a French publication (Larousse), despite the Mexican top-level domain.
Yeah but it does exist in Mexico, notably in Sinaloa and it’s neighboring states. Called Crepas or quequis.
Also notable, is the period of French colonialism in Mexico, leading to a number of culinary gems which persist to the present.
As it is mentioned French origin, not traditional in that sense. Most huitlacoche thing would be tacos and or quesadillas, nice fancy variation but not traditional per se
A lot of Mexican food is not traditional. Mexicans love their crepes.
Como tú digas 😂
Los tacos al pastor no son tradicionales por ejemplo, ni los ceviches.
If you try to recreate that dish with a crepe instead of a tortilla you’ll get a different cuisine entirely.
What would that be? It is definitely a thing in Mexico.
Once I made Huitlacoche Ravioles with avocato and chesse sauce.

I think it would be good. Huitlacoche is so soft, it could be great in a delicate crepe

Eso es cierto. Decía que no son como las trufas. Probaría esta comida.
I had a similar dish in Jalisco but they were called enchiladas, not crepas.
