Baleada de Pollo is a delicious traditional dish from Honduran cuisine. It features a freshly made flour tortilla, folded and filled with flavorful shredded chicken, refried red beans, and creamy queso fresco or sour cream. Often accompanied by sliced avocado, pickled onions, or hot sauce, this dish perfectly balances protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. The chicken provides lean protein, while the beans offer fiber and essential nutrients like iron and folate. With fresh ingredients, the baleada can be a hearty and nourishing meal. However, the use of sour cream and frying beans can increase calorie content and saturated fats, making moderation key for those watching their intake. This simple yet satisfying dish reflects the rich heritage of Central American cuisine and is a versatile option for a wholesome lunch or dinner.
