GASTRONOMY IN HONDURAS
Honduran cuisine stands out for its homemade and tasty character. Its dishes are usually prepared in large quantities and are intended to be shared with the family or in celebrations among friends. Recipes vary according to the region: while on the coast seafood and coconut milk dishes are enjoyed, in the interior meat stews, refried beans and corn tortillas predominate.
HONDURAN RECIPES
Did you know that many of the typical Central American dishes have their own Honduran version? Here are some of the most representative ones:
- Baleadas. One of the most popular breakfasts in the country. It is a wheat flour tortilla folded and filled with refried beans, grated cheese and cream. Sometimes egg, avocado or meat is added.
- Snail soup. One of the most emblematic dishes of the north coast. This soup has sea snail cooked in coconut milk with yucca, plantain, corn and seasonings. It is an unmistakable tropical flavor experience.
- Honduran Enchiladas. Unlike other Latin American versions, in Honduras enchiladas are prepared with a fried tortilla base, seasoned ground beef, shredded cabbage, boiled egg, cheese and tomato sauce.
- Tajadas with ground beef. The quintessential street dish: thin slices of fried green banana served with seasoned ground beef, pickled cabbage and sauces. Ideal for lunch or dinner.
