Mini pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish made from thick corn masa stuffed with various fillings. Common ingredients include cheese, beans, or finely shredded pork (known as chicharrón). These small, handheld versions of the classic pupusas are cooked on a griddle until golden and served with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and a mild tomato salsa. Pupusas are naturally gluten-free due to their corn base, making them suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. While they provide a good source of carbohydrates and protein from fillings, their nutritional profile can vary based on preparation—cheese-heavy varieties may be high in fat and calories. Opting for bean or veggie fillings can improve their balance of nutrients. Moderation and pairing with the fiber-rich curtido make mini pupusas a delightful yet mindful indulgence within a healthy diet.
