Despite the name, it has nothing rolled or baked in sauce — it's really an open-faced tostada piled sky-high.
A flat, crisp-fried corn tortilla is layered with cumin-spiced ground beef, shredded cabbage, a thin tomato sauce, sliced hard-boiled egg, and grated queso seco, eaten by hand like a loaded tostada. Classic Mestizo market food, grabbed as a midday snack from stalls across Honduras.
Why it's made this way: Unlike the rolled, sauce-baked Mexican dish it's named after, this open-faced version is built to be assembled and eaten fast on a stool at a market stall.
