El Salvador’s national dish is pupusas, thick corn tortillas stuffed with a variety of fillings. These hand-made delights are typically filled with cheese, refried beans, or chicharrón (finely ground pork), or a combination of these. Pupusas are served with curtido, a lightly fermented cabbage slaw, and tomato salsa. This dish dates back to pre-Columbian times and remains a beloved staple in Salvadoran cuisine. Pupusas represent the country’s indigenous heritage and the resourcefulness of its people, offering a delicious and filling meal in a simple package.
