About Balleadas

Baleadas are a popular Honduran dish consisting of a thick, handmade flour tortilla folded around a flavorful filling of refried red beans. Common additions include crumbled cheese, cream, scrambled eggs, avocado, or meats like ground beef or chicken. Originating from Honduras, baleadas are a staple of Central American cuisine, celebrated for their simplicity and versatility. Nutritionally, they provide a balanced mix of carbohydrates from the tortilla and protein from beans, eggs, or meat, making them a satisfying meal option. Beans also offer fiber and essential vitamins, supporting digestion and heart health. However, depending on portion sizes and toppings like cream or cheese, the calorie and fat content can increase significantly. By moderating heavy toppings and using whole-grain tortillas, baleadas can be made into a healthier version while retaining their authentic, delicious essence.
