Pasteles de Pina & Baleadas!

So last week we decided that we wanted to learn how to make the infamous Honduran meal of choice: Pastelitos de Pina and Baleadas.

We started out by heating up the sugar, some flower, and the innards of the pineapple.

We then mixed flour, salt, vegetable/corn paste, and some water to make the tortillas. As ‘gringos’/Americans, we had trouble actually making the round tortillas, though. Through all the tossing some might have actually fallen onto the floor…

The same mix was used for the pastelitos, too. We put the pineapple/sugar mix inside the tortillas and then fried them. YUMMMMMM.

We blended the red beans and fried the eggs to put inside the tortillas to make the baleadas.

BEST. MEAL. EVER. How did I contribute? I swear I made at least one tortilla…and then ate maybe six.
