Bibingka is one of the most iconic Filipino Christmas foods, traditionally eaten during Simbang Gabi—the nine-day dawn masses leading up to Christmas. Outside churches and markets, the smell of banana leaves and toasted coconut signals the season. Bibingka is made from rice flour and coconut milk, baked hot (often with coals above and below), then topped with salted egg and grated coconut for that sweet-salty holiday magic.

This version keeps the spirit authentic but makes it simpler for home cooks by using tortillas as the base. Same crunch, same nostalgia, less drama.
