Salbute

(Salbutes)

Salbute is a deep-fried tortilla dish with Mayan influences, originating from the Yucatán peninsula. These tortillas are typically topped with chicken, turkey, lime juice, tomatoes, lettuce, avocados, and red onions. They are also a staple food in Belize.


Salbutes are traditionally prepared and consumed in the evening, when groups of friends and families go outside to have a bite. The tortillas are often served at panucherias – fast food joints which also sell tostadas and panuchos.
