About Baleada
Baleada is a traditional Honduran dish celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavors. It consists of a thick, handmade flour tortilla folded around a filling of creamy refried red beans, often accompanied by crumbled cheese and Honduran-style sour cream (mantequilla). Variations may include scrambled eggs, avocado, or shredded meat for added flavor and texture. Originating as a street food staple, baleadas are not only a culinary icon but also an affordable, accessible meal for many. From a nutritional perspective, baleadas provide protein and fiber from the beans, while the addition of fresh ingredients like avocado enhances their nutrient profile. However, the tortilla and dairy components can contribute high levels of refined carbs, saturated fats, and calories, depending on portion sizes and preparation methods. Enjoying baleadas in moderation and incorporating lean, wholesome ingredients can make them a satisfying and balanced dish.
