mixiote
This seems very typical of Mexico and would probably not be translated.
A glossary (second ref) gave this explanation without offering a translation: Mixiote Thin parchment-like membrane of the maguey, or the dish made by wrapping meats and vegetables in it much the way we use parchment paper, and cooking them in a steamer of barbacoa pit

"mixiote"
As there is no equivalent in English, I would keep the word "mixiote" (but put it in italics). This is how it appears in the texts below.
Ruby, I know you must know what mixiote is, but for anyone else who is wondering, it is a dish of meat, sauce and seasonings steamed in a wrapper of the inner lining of the maguey leaf, which gives it a distinctive flavour.
