About Pupusas
Pupusas are traditional stuffed corn tortillas from El Salvador, renowned for their savory flavor and versatility. Typically made with masa harina, a finely ground corn flour, pupusas are filled with ingredients like cheese, refried beans, or finely seasoned pork (called chicharrón). Some variations may include vegetables or even loroco, a regional edible flower. Pupusas are cooked on a griddle, resulting in a lightly crisp exterior and a soft, flavorful interior. Served alongside curtido, a tangy pickled cabbage slaw, and tomato salsa, they create a balanced and satisfying meal. Pupusas are naturally gluten-free and provide a source of fiber and complex carbohydrates from the corn masa. However, the fillings and cooking style can contribute to higher calorie and fat content, depending on the ingredients used. Enjoyed in moderation, pupusas offer a delicious way to explore Salvadoran cuisine while incorporating unique flavors and textures into your diet.
