Bean & Cheese Pupusas

Cultural Context

Pupusas are a traditional dish from El Salvador, believed to have origins dating back to the indigenous Pipil people. They are often filled with a variety of ingredients, with bean and cheese being a popular combination. Pupusas are typically served with a tangy cabbage slaw called curtido and tomato sauce, making them a beloved comfort food in Salvadoran culture. Today, pupusas have gained popularity beyond El Salvador, with variations appearing in many Latin American communities and restaurants worldwide.
