masa harina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornmeal is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

pork

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: turkey

Chicken is leaner and often more affordable than pork.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: canned salsa

Pico de gallo is fresher and healthier, while canned salsa is more economical.

Prepare masa by mixing masa harina with water until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a disc.

Fill the center of each disc with cheese or refried beans and fold over to seal.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and cook the pupusas until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side.

Prepare curtido by mixing shredded cabbage, onions, and carrots with vinegar and spices; let it marinate.

Cook yuca in boiling water until tender, about 20-25 minutes; drain and serve with chicharrón.

For tamales, spread masa on corn husks, add filling, and fold; steam for 1-1.5 hours until firm.

Make Sopa de Pata by boiling beef tripe with vegetables and spices until tender, about 2-3 hours.

Serve dishes with fresh salsa and avocado slices for garnish.

Enjoy traditional Salvadoran meals with family and friends.
