Honduran Baleada Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honduran Baleada Dish.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious tortilla-making adventure, grab a large bowl and mix together all-purpose flour, water, vegetable oil, an egg, and a pinch of salt.

2. Step 2

   Stir until a dough begins to form, and then transfer it to a floured surface.

3. Step 3

   Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes, until it’s smooth and no longer sticky—this is where the magic happens! Once your dough is ready, divide it into eight equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.

4. Step 4

   Cover these little dough balls with a clean cloth and let them rest for about 20 minutes; this helps them relax and makes them easier to work with.

5. Step 5

   After the dough has rested, take one ball and gently flatten it.

6. Step 6

   You can use your hands or a rolling pin to stretch it into a thick tortilla shape—don’t worry if it’s not perfect; each tortilla has its own character! Now, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

7. Step 7

   Cook each tortilla for about a minute on each side, until they’re beautifully browned and lightly puffed.

8. Step 8

   Once they’re cooked to perfection, it’s time to get creative! Layer on some refried beans, add slices of creamy avocado, and sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top of each warm tortilla.

9. Step 9

   For a finishing touch, drizzle with a bit of crema and fold it in half.
