About Beef and cheese pupusa
Beef and Cheese Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish that blends savory flavors and hearty textures. This delicious stuffed flatbread is made from a base of corn masa flour, which is pressed and filled with seasoned ground beef and melty queso fresco or mozzarella cheese. It is cooked on a griddle until golden and crispy on the outside, creating a delightful contrast to its gooey, flavorful interior. Originating in El Salvador, pupusas are often enjoyed with curtido (a pickled cabbage slaw) and a mild tomato sauce, enhancing their authentic taste. Nutritionally, pupusas provide protein from the beef and cheese and energy from the corn masa, but they can be calorie-dense and high in fat, depending on portion size and preparation method. Moderation and pairing with fresh vegetables make this comfort food a balanced treat that reflects the essence of Salvadoran cuisine.
