{{Recipe summary A pupusa is a stuffed corn-tortilla, usually served with a spicy coleslaw called curtido. Pupusas originated in El Salvador, but immigrants have taken the dish to other Central American countries and beyond. Pupusas are hand-made and thick. Like all corn tortillas, they are made using corn masa. They are stuffed with one or more of the following: *cheese (queso) (usually a soft Salvadoran cheese called Quesillo) *fried pork rind (chicharrones) *chicken (pollo) *refried beans (frijoles refritos) *queso y Loroco (loroco is a shrub flower bud from Central America) There are also the pupusa revueltas (with mixed ingredients of cheese, pork, and beans). Pupusas are usually served with curtido and tomato sauce. They are eaten with the fingers.
