Taquería slang with no older record: the hard toasted tortilla is said to resemble a bat's wing, or to need fangs to bite through.

This is a site about what Mexican words mean, so there is no recipe here. For the name itself: Antojito means "little craving". These are the masa-based street foods named for their shape more often than their filling: a sope is a small mound, a huarache is a sandal, a gordita is a fat little one, a tlacoyo is an oval patty.
