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
