Pupusas, is our newest Contigo® product found in Salvadorean cuisine.
Pupusas pronounced “poo-poo-sas” , are thick discs of corn/masa flour that are combined with savory ingredients such as beans, pork and cheese, flattened and griddle cooked to create a crispy and delicious sandwich-style meal. Contigo Pupusas are similar to arepas or gorditas but have their own unique preparation and flavors offering the convenience of a hand-held or plated food item.
Traditionally, Pupusas are served with curtido, a tangy vinegar-based cabbage and carrot slaw and Salsa Roja; both of which impart a tangy flavor that marries beautifully with the savory filling.
