Pupusas Salvadoreñas

Cultural Context

Originating from El Salvador, pupusas are a staple of Salvadoran cuisine, traditionally filled with cheese, beans, or pork. They are often served with curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw, and tomato salsa, making them a beloved comfort food. Today, pupusas have gained popularity beyond Central America, often found in Latin American restaurants worldwide, celebrated for their versatility and rich flavors.
