About Beef pupusa

Beef pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish consisting of a thick, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with a flavorful filling. The main ingredients include seasoned ground beef, masa harina (corn flour), and a touch of cheese, offering a balance of savory and mildly creamy textures. Often served with curtido—a tangy cabbage slaw—and salsa, pupusas are a staple of Central American cuisine. They provide a good source of protein from the beef and energy from the corn tortilla, making them satisfying and hearty. However, the calorie and fat content can be higher due to the cheese and oil used in preparation. Rich in culture and flavor, beef pupusas are delicious but best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Pairing them with curtido enhances their nutritional profile with added fiber and vitamins.
