One popular dish from Honduras is “Baleadas,” which are delicious Honduran stuffed tortillas. Here’s a concise version of the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup warm water
- Refried beans
- Queso fresco or mild cheese, crumbled
- Honduran crema or sour cream
- Avocado slices (optional)
- Pickled onions (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the vegetable oil and gradually pour in the warm water while mixing.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin tortilla-like shape, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook the tortillas one at a time until they are lightly browned on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
- To assemble the baleadas, spread a generous amount of refried beans onto one side of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco or mild cheese over the beans.
- Fold the tortilla in half, enclosing the filling.
- Top the baleada with a drizzle of Honduran crema or sour cream.
- If desired, add avocado slices and pickled onions as additional toppings.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
- Serve the baleadas warm as a snack, breakfast, or a light meal.
