About Catrachas
Honduras.com presents catrachas de frijol as food from Honduran fairs and street stalls. Fried corn tortillas form the base, topped with refried beans and grated cheese.
The beans can be blended or mashed before they are spread over the tortillas. Grated cheese finishes the topping, while pieces of tomato and thinly sliced red onion are optional additions.
The tortillas are drained after frying, then covered with the beans and cheese in the style of a tostada. The result brings the crisp corn base together with the soft bean topping.
