Pupusa Bean and Cheese is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from a thick corn tortilla filled with a savory blend of refried beans and melted cheese. Originating in El Salvador, pupusas are a staple in Central American cuisine and are enjoyed for their hearty and satisfying flavor. This dish provides a good source of protein from the beans and cheese, along with essential carbohydrates from the corn masa. However, pupusas can be high in calories and fat, depending on the cheese used and preparation method. They are often served with curtido, a tangy fermented cabbage slaw, and a tomato-based salsa, which add vitamins and probiotics for a nutritional boost. While not considered a low-calorie option, pupusas can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. Their comforting taste and rich cultural heritage make them a popular choice around the world.
