  1. I just made these for my family the other night. We all loved them. I am saving this recipe and making it again for sure. Thank you for all of your yummy recipes. 🙂

  2. In my country (Honduras), flour tortilla tacos are a very popular street snack, filled with spread of refried beans, salty sourcream and avocado. other toppings for this taco are shreded quesillo-cheese, scrambled eggs with meat and pickled onions with jalapeños! people absolutely love them and many have them from street vendors for breakfast with a sip of “horchata” drink.
    they are called “Baleadas”.
