Cacao Husk Atole
Atole is a pre-Columbian masa-based drink sometimes flavored with chocolate. Eduardo Correa Palacios’ version from Chontalpa gets its chocolate flavor from cacao bean husks, sold as cacao tea at many health food stores, instead of cocoa beans. This drink celebrates the long history of cacao production in the Tabasco region, where it is still popular today for its comforting, rich flavor.
