Relleno negro is a representative dish of Yucatecan cuisine, a culinary heritage of the Mayans, made with burnt red dried chili peppers, spices like achiote, pepper, cumin, tomato, hard-boiled egg, and meat originally from turkey, but it can also be made with duck or chicken. It is served with delicious handmade tortillas, and according to Yucatecan tradition, Tuesdays are the preferred days to enjoy this dish. This delicacy has a pre-Hispanic origin and has survived over the years, adapting to the new times. The traditional technique for cooking relleno negro is underground, with the aim of impregnating the smoky flavor that gives a special touch to this dish. Historically, the ancestral tradition tells that this food was offered after the death of a person, during funerals.
