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.

1

Combine 8 cups of masa harina and 7 cups of water in a bowl.

2

Knead the mixture until it is smooth and not sticky.

Reserve the dough once it is ready.

4

Use 2 pounds of mozzarella cheese, breaking it apart until it is finely shredded.

5

Wash and finely chop the frozen loroco.

6

Mix the chopped loroco with the mozzarella cheese and reserve the filling.

7

Cover the dough with plastic or a cloth to prevent it from drying out.

8

Form a tortilla with the dough, making it slightly thin.

9

Add a generous amount of the cheese and loroco filling in the center of the tortilla.

10

Fold the edges over the filling to seal it inside and flatten it gently.

11

Optionally, moisten your hands with water or oil while shaping the pupusas.

12

Cook the pupusas on a hot skillet or comal, optionally adding oil for a golden finish.

13

After 1-2 minutes, flip the pupusas to prevent them from drying out, flipping them 2-3 times in total.
