Belize is a nation on the eastern coast of Central America, with Caribbean Sea shorelines to the east and dense jungle to the west. Offshore, the massive Belize Barrier Reef, dotted with hundreds of low-lying islands called cayes, hosts rich marine life. Belize’s jungle areas are home to Mayan ruins like Caracol, renowned for its towering pyramid; lagoon-side Lamanai; and Altun Ha and Xunantunich just outside Belize City.
Joe, the kids and I took an 8 day vacation to Belize back in 2013. My friend Mark, who is a tour guide and archaeologist took us to the Belize Zoo, Xunantunich (Maya Ruin) and taught us so much about our rich Belizean culture. My uncle Roger took us the Caye Caulker and to his girlfriend Miriam’s bakery and her home for a wonderful meal.

Miriam taught me how to make the best street food that you can find in Belize. I already knew how to make panandes which is a “Spanish” food made from corn masa and filled with hashed tuna fish, then deep fried. It’s topped with an onion and cabbage sauce that soaked in distilled white vinegar and water. The Salbutes which is made from corn masa the is fried flat and then topped with chicken picked from the bone and a cabbage ceviche made with only 4 ingredients (cabbage, tomato, cilantro and fat free Italian dressing). This dish has a light dusting of parmesan cheese. The last dish is Panucho, which is made from sandwiching chicken picked from the bone between two pieces of masa dough, then deep fried. It is topped with the cul from our Belizean tamales and a blend of extra sharp cheddar cheese
