Enchiladas Hondureñas: Not What You Expect

If you're expecting rolled tortillas in red sauce, think again! Honduran enchiladas are completely different from their Mexican cousins — and many say they're even better.

What Makes Them Different?

Honduran enchiladas start with a flat corn tortilla that's fried until crispy — like a tostada. Then comes the magic: layers of seasoned ground beef, shredded cabbage, fresh tomato sauce, crumbled cheese, and a slice of hard-boiled egg on top.

The Perfect Balance

What makes Honduran enchiladas special is the contrast of textures and flavors:

• Crispy base — The fried tortilla provides crunch
• Savory meat — Seasoned ground beef with Honduran spices
• Fresh cabbage — Adds lightness and crunch
• Tangy sauce — Tomato-based with a hint of vinegar
• Rich toppings — Cheese and egg add protein and richness

It's a complete meal in every bite!
