Meat and Bean Pupusa

Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla filled with various ingredients such as beans, cheese, and meat. This particular variation, Meat and Bean Pupusa, is stuffed with ground meat and refried beans. Pupusas are typically served with curtido, a pickled salad consisting of cabbage, carrots, and onions, as well as a tomato-based sauce. Pupusas are a great source of carbohydrates and protein from the corn and meat/beans, respectively. However, they are also high in fat due to the frying method of cooking. It is best to consume in moderation and pair with healthier side dishes to balance out the meal.
