Walk the streets of San Salvador, and you’ll never be far from the toasted-corn scent of cooking pupusas, a flavor that’s endured through the centuries. Pupusa is the national dish of El Salvador, a thick, stuffed, skillet-cooked corn tortilla, traditionally served with a side of tomato salsa and coleslaw. Pupusas are almost always handmade, sold at numerous street corners in the country. To make pupusas, a cook wraps a filling of cheese, pork, or spiced beans into tender corn dough, then pats the mixture onto a blazing-hot griddle. A bright topping of slaw-like curtido cuts through the fat and salt for a satisfying meal. Pupusas can also often be found at tiny restaurants called pupuserias. After the meal, hot chocolate is the most common accompaniment to this flavourful dish.
