Pupusas de Loroco con Queso

Cultural Context

Pupusas, a beloved dish from El Salvador, are thick corn tortillas filled with various ingredients. The addition of loroco, a fragrant edible flower, brings a unique flavor that complements the cheese. Traditionally enjoyed with curtido (cabbage slaw) and tomato sauce, pupusas are a staple in Salvadoran cuisine, often served during family gatherings and celebrations. Today, they have gained popularity beyond Central America, with many variations emerging worldwide.
