A pupusa is a stuffed corn-tortilla, usually served with a spicy coleslaw called [[curtido]].

Pupusas are hand-made and thick. Like all [[corn tortillas]], they are made using [[masa harina]]. They originate from El Salvador.

This is not true to the original which uses pork rinds. This slightly healthier version is stuffed with a bacon tomato and green pepper mixture
