These little 'Mom & Pop' (mostly Mom) road-stands are on almost every street corner. The local fare is usually Baleadas, (pronounced bah-lee-ah'-das) a local cuisine seemingly, only to be found in Honduras. 
They're made from a big round flour tortilla that's folded in half. The inside contains specially cooked and mashed red beans, a small layer of seasoned scrambled eggs, and a squirt of mantequilla sauce. 
Mantequilla is something like the consistency of yogurt with a buttery, hint of cheese flavor. It's hard to describe, but oh so delicious. Everybody makes them differently and some add bits of cooked meat. I like mine 'sin carne' -- without meat.
