A macheteada (Spanish pronunciation: [mat͡ʃeteˈada]), 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.[1][2]

Macheteadas are believed to originate from banana fields.[3] Macheteadas are a staple in the Northern Departments of Honduras, such as Atlántida and Cortés.[4]

Etymology

Macheteadas get their name from the Spanish word machetear, 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.[2][5]
