Honduran Recipes

Honduran cuisine blends Lenca and Maya Indigenous traditions with Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences. Baleadas—flour tortillas filled with refried beans, cream, and cheese—are the everyday staple. Plato típico features rice, beans, meat, plantains, and tortillas. Sopa de caracol (conch soup), tapado (seafood coconut stew), and tamales nacatamales are celebrated dishes. Coconut milk is prominent along the Caribbean coast, while inland cooking relies on corn, beans, and pork.
