Honduras Baleadas

Baleadas are one of the most appreciated dishes of Honduran cuisine. Because it consists of an omelet stuffed with beans and a variety of other ingredients, they look a lot like Mexican tacos and burritos, although with a peculiar Honduran touch. Because they are simple and easy to prepare, they are an excellent choice for a quick breakfast or lunch.
