Honduran Baleadas Recipe

  • Tortillas:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Filling:
  • 2 cups refried beans, warmed
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (fresh white cheese)
  • 1/4 cup crema fresca (fresh cream)
  1. Mix flour, water, vegetable oil, egg, and salt in a large bowl; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
  2. Form the dough into 8 golf ball-sized balls. Cover and let rest, about 20 minutes.
  3. Stretch each ball of dough into a thick tortilla.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla until browned and lightly puffed, about 1 minute per side.
  5. Layer refried beans, avocado, and queso fresco over tortillas. Drizzle crema on top; fold tortillas in half over filling.
