About Pupusas de frijol con queso
Pupusas de frijol con queso are a popular Salvadoran dish featuring thick corn tortillas stuffed with a savory filling of refried beans and melty cheese. Originating in El Salvador, pupusas showcase traditional Central American flavors and are often enjoyed with curtido (a pickled cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa for added freshness. The dough is usually made from masa harina, a type of ground corn flour. While pupusas are rich in flavor, they can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and fried oils often used in preparation. On the healthier side, beans provide protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, while masa contributes energy in the form of complex carbs. For a more balanced option, they can be served with fresh vegetables or paired with grilled protein. Knowing portion sizes and cooking methods can help make pupusas a tasty yet moderate indulgence in a well-rounded diet.
