About Zucchini and cheese pupusa
Zucchini and Cheese Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish featuring a thick, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with a blend of fresh zucchini and melted cheese. Originating from El Salvador, pupusas are a staple in Central American cuisine, prized for their comforting texture and rich flavor. The zucchini provides a dose of nutrients like vitamins A and C, along with dietary fiber, while the cheese adds protein and calcium. Pupusas are usually cooked on a griddle, resulting in a satisfying balance of crispy edges and a soft, gooey interior. While delicious, they can be higher in calories and saturated fats due to the cheese and masa dough, so portion control is key. Typically served with curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa, Zucchini and Cheese Pupusas contribute to a hearty, wholesome meal that introduces a variety of vegetables into your diet while delighting your palate.
