📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Pollo con tajadas is Honduras's national fast food: spice-marinated fried chicken is set on a mound of thinly sliced fried green plantain (tajadas). It's topped with plenty of shredded cabbage salad, pink dressing, and tomato sauce. It's sold late into the night at town eateries and stalls.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a night stall in San Pedro Sula, cabbage and pink sauce are poured over a pile of fresh fried chicken and plantain chips and packed into a foam box.
