Bean and Cheese Pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish made from a thick, hand-formed corn tortilla stuffed with a filling of refried beans and melty cheese. Typically crafted with masa harina, a finely ground corn flour, pupusas create a flavorful balance of savory and hearty ingredients. Originating from El Salvador, this staple dish is known for its simplicity and satisfying texture, often served with tangy curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa for a bright contrast. While the beans provide protein and fiber, and the corn base offers essential carbohydrates, the cheese adds indulgent creaminess but can contribute saturated fats depending on the variety used. Pupusas are naturally gluten-free and offer accessible energy, though portions should be considered for those managing caloric intake. Rich in cultural heritage, Bean and Cheese Pupusas combine wholesome ingredients with comfort food appeal, making them a delicious and approachable option for diverse dietary needs.
