Pupusas de Loroco

Cultural Context

Pupusas de Loroco are a traditional Salvadoran dish, originating from the indigenous Pipil people. These thick corn tortillas are filled with a variety of ingredients, with loroco—a fragrant edible flower—being a popular choice. Pupusas are often enjoyed during celebrations and family gatherings, symbolizing community and heritage. Today, they are cherished not just in El Salvador but across Central America and among Salvadoran communities worldwide.

Chop the loroco finely.

Add lemon juice and a little salt to the cabbage salad.

9

Pour hot water over the cabbage to soften it and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

10

Take a ball of masa (about the size of a golf ball) and coat it with oil to prevent sticking.

11

Flatten the masa ball into a disc shape.

12

Fill the center of the disc with the loroco and cheese mixture.

Fold the edges over to encase the filling and reshape into a disc.

14
