pupusas
Thick stuffed tortillas
Pupusas are thick corn tortillas stuffed with fillings like cheese, refried beans, or pork, then griddled until crisp.
A staple of Salvadoran cuisine, they're typically served with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa.
We grabbed pupusas from the food truck after the game.
