The Story Behind It

The Tale of Pupusas Revueltas

Pupusas are El Salvador's national dish, thick corn masa cakes stuffed with fillings, with roots tracing back to pre-Columbian Indigenous Pipil (Nahua) cooking traditions in the region. Pupusas revueltas, the "mixed" version, combine cheese, refried beans, and pork chicharrón in one pupusa, a popular variation sold at pupuserías across the country.
