Baleadas, rice and beans, and grilled meats define Honduran food. Baleadas, flour tortillas filled with refried beans, cheese, and crema, function as a daily staple. Carne asada plates are common, typically served with rice, beans, tortillas, and fried plantains. Seafood becomes more prominent along the coast, with dishes like fried fish and coconut-based soups. Tamales and stews round out the core, with meals built on simple combinations of protein, starch, and beans.
