Typical Honduran Dishes We Love

In the heart of Central America, Honduras is an incredibly diverse country with a unique gastronomy reflecting indigenous Mesoamerican, Spanish, African, and Caribbean influence. In different parts of the country you’ll encounter distinctive customs, traditions, and of course foods contributed by these various cultures. Not surprisingly, getting to know typical Honduran dishes is the easiest way to dip into Honduran culture and history.

Making tortillas in Honduras

Like some of the country’s Central American neighbors, the staple ingredients of Honduran cuisine include corn, beans, tomatoes, salty cheese, a grilled meats (chicken, pork, beef) and seafood. Avocado often accompanies the latter dishes. Tropical fruits like plantain and coconut are used a lot too. Not a day goes by in Honduras without eating corn tortillas and tajadas, the sliced and fried green plantains that are an obligatory part of any lunch.

Tortillas, made and consumed since the time of the Mayans, are a pillar of Honduran cuisine, culture, and history. Women selling handmade tortillas can be seen everywhere in this country. Tortillas in Honduras are made with both corn and wheat flour. They’re folded, pan-fried, deep-fried, or served on the side in countless Honduran dishes, including some of those examined here.
