About Pupusa mixta

Pupusa Mixta is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from a thick corn masa pancake stuffed with a combination of meats, cheeses, and often beans. The "mixta" typically includes pork (often in the form of chicharrón), mozzarella or quesillo cheese, and refried red beans, creating a flavorful and satisfying filling. Originating from El Salvador, pupusas are a staple of Central American cuisine and are typically served with curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa. While pupusas provide protein and some calcium from the cheese, they can be high in calories and fat due to the pork and cheese content. The masa adds fiber and complex carbohydrates, making them more filling. Opting for smaller portions or pairing with fresh vegetables can balance the meal for a healthier option.
