Pupusa de Queso con Ayote is a traditional Salvadoran comfort food, combining rich cultural heritage with simple, hearty ingredients. This stuffed corn tortilla is filled with melty cheese and grated ayote, a type of squash similar to zucchini, offering a unique blend of savory and mildly sweet flavors. Originating from El Salvador, pupusas are a staple in Central American cuisine, known for their satisfying texture and versatility. The corn masa base provides a gluten-free option rich in fiber and energy, while ayote adds vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and low-calorie nutrition. However, the cheese contributes saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring heart health. Typically served with a tangy curtido (fermented cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa, it’s a balanced dish that showcases both nutrition and indulgence in one flavorful bite perfect for sharing or enjoying alone.
