common recipe questions
What is a baleada?
A Baleada is a traditional Honduran dish that consists of a folded flour tortilla filled with various ingredients. The most basic form of Baleada includes a spread of mashed or refried beans and is often garnished with crema (a type of Latin American sour cream) and crumbled cheese like cotija or queso fresco. The tortilla is typically thick and made from scratch, though store-bought tortillas can also be used.
Over the years, the Baleada has evolved to include more elaborate fillings such as grilled meats, avocados, scrambled eggs, and even vegetables, making it a versatile and customizable dish. It is commonly eaten as a quick meal or snack and is popular at both street stalls and restaurants in Honduras.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
