Catrachitas

Description

Catrachitas is a popular Honduran snack consisting of deep-fried tortilla chips topped with hot sauce, cheese, and mashed refried beans. When served at home, the toppings can vary from one family to another, but in restaurants, catrachitas are usually served in a clay pot filled with melted cheese, mashed beans, and bits of sausage, similar to the Swiss fondue pot. There is also a similar variation on catrachitas called de chilindrinas , consisting of deep-fried tortilla strips that are topped with cheese and hot tomato sauce.
