About Chicken and cheese pupusa
Chicken and Cheese Pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made from a thick corn tortilla stuffed with a savory filling of shredded chicken and gooey, melted cheese. The dough is crafted from masa harina, a nutrient-rich corn flour. Pupusas are typically griddled until golden and served with curtido, a tangy fermented cabbage slaw, and tomato salsa on the side. Rich in protein from the chicken and cheese, it offers a satisfying meal, though the cheese contributes saturated fat, and the tortilla provides carbohydrates. This dish is naturally gluten-free and can be a flavorful source of energy when balanced with fresh vegetables or lighter accompaniments. A staple of Central American cuisine, pupusas celebrate the harmony of simple, wholesome ingredients and bold flavors. Enjoy in moderation for a taste of Salvadoran heritage combined with nutritional value.
