Salbute

Salbutes are a cherished dish from the Yucatán Peninsula that have become a staple in Belizean cuisine. These delectable, puffed, deep-fried tortillas are typically garnished with crisp lettuce, creamy sliced avocado, succulent pulled chicken or turkey, ripe tomatoes, and tangy pickled red onions. They are a favorite for evening gatherings, whether dining out with friends or enjoying a meal with family.

Salbutes are commonly found in fast-food establishments known as panucherias. At these eateries, it's not just salbutes on the menu; you can also enjoy other mouthwatering options like panuchos, tostadas, tortas, and caldos. What sets salbutes apart is their perfect frying, coupled with the customizable toppings that are added fresh upon ordering. And, of course, no meal is complete without a refreshing soda to complement the flavors.
