Son conocidos como niños dormidos en los llanos orientales de Venezuela, y en Colombia con el nombre de aborrajados.
Hello dear friends of the community I hope you are well, I am happy to participate in the weekly contest maker @OCD in support of @FoodiesBeeHive, where we have to make a typical dish of my country and this time I will be making some tequeyoyos which is a Venezuelan páspalo, similar to tequeños but stuffed with fried yellow plantain and cheese. The origin is rooted in the state of Zulia located in the extreme northwest of Venezuela, where tequeños, pastries, stuffed potatoes and of course yoyos and tequeyoyos are a common part of a breakfast or an afternoon meal.
They are known as niños dormidos in the eastern plains of Venezuela, and in Colombia as aborrajados.
Their name derives from their resemblance to the yo-yo toy, since they used to have a round shape, but nowadays they have an elongated semicircular shape. Nowadays Banana Yoyos can also be stuffed with ham, and sometimes they can also be stuffed once they have been fried with marinated meat, marinated chicken, pork leg, vegetables, sauces and other ingredients.
