Baleada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baleadas are one of Honduras's most popular foods. A baleada is a wheat flour tortilla, often quite thick, folded in half and filled with mashed fried beans. This is the no-frills baleada. But most Hondurans take their baleadas with any or all of the following: dried, crumbly fresh cheese; scrambled eggs; sausage; "crema", which is something like runny sour cream; and sliced avacados. Most bigger Honduran towns have one or more baleada shops, which are often open air restaurants with a roof, where the customer orders and pays for the baleadas at a counter and then takes them over to picnic tables to eat them. The most popular baleada shops are crowded around the clock.
