In El Salvador there are pupusas. In Mexico there are tacos. In Honduras there are Baleadas. The simple version consists of a thick flour – though sometimes corn – tortilla that has been put on a charcoal grill. It's slathered in refried black beans and a bit of white farmers cheese then folded over like an American-style soft taco.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix flour, water, vegetable oil, egg, and salt in a large bowl; knead until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.

Form the dough into 8 golf ball-sized balls.

Cover and let rest, about 20 minutes.

Stretch each ball of dough into a thick tortilla.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook each tortilla until browned and lightly puffed, about 1 minute per side.

Layer refried beans, avocado, and queso fresco over tortillas.

Drizzle crema on top; fold tortillas in half over filling.
