Pupusa

Cultural Context

Originating from El Salvador, pupusas are thick corn tortillas filled with various ingredients, including cheese, beans, and meats. Traditionally served with a tangy cabbage slaw called curtido, they are a staple in Salvadoran cuisine and are often enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations. Today, pupusas have gained popularity beyond Central America, with variations appearing in Latin American communities worldwide.
