HONDURAN BALEADAS
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.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- Use brown sugar: Brown sugar adds a rich, caramelized flavor to the bread.
- Add a splash of rum: Rum adds a subtle, boozy flavor to the bread. If you don't have rum, you can substitute vanilla extract.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will help the bread to rise evenly.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.
