Macheteada

A macheteada (), is a Honduran fried flour tortilla snack, usually prepared using leftover dough from baleadas. When eaten for breakfast or dessert, macheteadas are typically drizzled with honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup.

Macheteadas are believed to originate from banana fields. Macheteadas are a staple in the Northern Departments of Honduras, such as Atlántida and Cortés.

Etymology

Macheteadas get their name from the Spanish word , which means to chop with a machete. It attained this name due to the three prominent slits resembling cuts from a machete through the middle of the dough.
