This blog was about breaking a culinary cycle โ€“ curry, tacos, pizza.

But what if doing this blog meant finding a better way to do tacos?

That’s the glory of baleadas, a taco-like dish from Honduras and only the second dish from the mainland American continent thus far.

The recipe is simple โ€“ eggs, beans, cream and cheese on a tortilla. But I spiced it up, finding crema hondureรฑa at a Latino grocery, hand-forming my tortillas, using excellent Don Froylans cotija from right here in Oregon. The beans were, yet again, from Rancho Gordo โ€“ tasty, meaty, delicious.

Even better โ€“ Emily made this meal, so I didn’t have to!

  • Delicious rebosero beans.

    1 cup masa harina
  • 2 cups cooked Rancho Gordo rebosero beans, lightly mashed
  • 1/2 cup Don Froylan’s queso cotija
  • 1 package Crema Hondureรฑa (Crema Mexicana will suffice)
  • 3 eggs, scrambled
  1. Prepare your tortillas: Mix masa with water, roll out tortillas and cook on a hot flat skillet.
  2. Serve ingredients on the tortillas.
Great ingredients make great food. Local cheese, Rancho Gordo beans and farmers market eggs made for one tasty meal.
