Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish, featuring a thick corn tortilla filled with a variety of savory ingredients like cheese, beans, and pork. These delightful pockets of flavor are often served with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and salsa roja, adding a fresh kick. While pupusas are hearty and satisfying, keep in mind they can be rich, especially when loaded with cheese. However, they offer a filling source of carbohydrates and are often packed with protein and fiber, making them a delicious and balanced meal choice. Whether enjoyed at a street food stand or a family gathering, pupusas are a must-try for anyone wanting to experience authentic Central American cuisine!
