Gobbling down street food in EL SALVADOR: 4 pupusas for 1 dollar. Any backpacker can afford this budget lifestyle :)

by admin

I love EL SALVADOR pupusas: a pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla prepared with a variety of fillings:
Pupusa revuelta contains a blend of cheese, pork (chicharrón), and refried beans
Pupusa de quesillo or pupusa de queso contains cheese (queso, usually a soft cheese called quesillo found throughout Central America)
Pupusa de chicharrón contains cooked and seasoned pork meat ground to a paste consistency (called chicharrón, not to be confused with fried pork rind, which is also known as chicharrón in some other countries)
Refried beans (frijoles refritos)
Queso con loroco (loroco is a vine flower bud from Central America)
Pupusas are typically served with curtido (lightly fermented cabbage slaw with red chilies and vinegar).
