Baleadas
Honduran flour tortilla pockets - thick, soft flour tortillas folded over a generous spread of refried beans, drizzled with crema, and sprinkled with crumbled queso seco. A beloved breakfast and street food staple.
๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 3 cups All-purpose flour(plus more for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 g Lard or vegetable shortening(solid at room temperature)
- 1 cup Warm water(approximately, may need slightly more or less)
- 2 cups Refried beans(warmed)
- 180 ml Crema Mexicana or sour cream(thinned with a little milk if too thick)
- 150 g Queso seco(crumbled. If unavailable, use crumbled feta or cotija cheese.)

- optional Avocado(sliced or mashed)

Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the solid lard or shortening using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making the tortillas easier to roll.
โฑ๏ธ 27 minutes (7 min kneading + 20 min resting) - 2
Divide and shape the tortillas: After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball and roll it out into a thick, round tortilla, about 6-7 inches in diameter and approximately 1/8 inch thick. Avoid rolling them too thin, as baleadas are known for their soft, substantial tortilla.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 3
Cook the tortillas: Heat a dry cast-iron skillet or a comal over medium-high heat. Once hot (a drop of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly), carefully place one tortilla onto the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla begins to puff up and develops golden-brown spots. The key is to cook them until they are cooked through but still soft and pliable. Transfer cooked tortillas to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft while you cook the remaining tortillas.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes (approx. 2-3 minutes per tortilla) - 4
Assemble the baleadas: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous layer of warmed refried beans evenly over one half of the tortilla, leaving a small border. Drizzle a good amount of crema over the beans. Sprinkle generously with crumbled queso seco. If using, add scrambled eggs and/or sliced avocado on top of the cheese.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 5
Fold and serve: Carefully fold the unfilled half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Serve immediately while the tortillas are warm and the fillings are melty.

- โThe tortillas should be thick, soft, and slightly chewy โ not crispy. If they puff up significantly, gently press them with a spatula to ensure they cook through.
- โServe baleadas immediately after assembly for the best texture and temperature.
- โThe beauty of baleadas lies in their simplicity. While optional additions are great, the classic combination of beans, crema, and cheese is incredibly satisfying on its own.
