- Sour Cream: In Honduras, Mantequilla Blanca is used. It is similar to sour cream but a little runnier. Sour cream is a good alternative.
- Tortillas: Homemade tortillas are preferred, but you can also buy uncooked tortillas in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
- Refried Beans: In Honduras, Honduran Red Beans are used. Refried black beans are a good substitute.
- Cheese: Cotija Cheese is the best choice. You may need to crumble it yourself. In a pinch, feta cheese tastes kind of similar to cotija. Queso Duro is another popular cheese choice.
- You can put avocados, ground beef, red onions or eggs inside the tortilla too
