This article is about the culinary dish. For the mountain peak, see Păpușa.
A pupusa is a thick griddle cake or flatbread from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala[1][2][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] made with cornmeal or rice flour, similar to the Colombian and Venezuelan arepa. In El Salvador, it has been declared the national dish and has a specific day to celebrate it. It is usually stuffed with one or more ingredients, which may include cheese (such as quesillo or cheese with loroco buds), chicharrón, squash, or refried beans. It is typically accompanied by curtido (a spicy fermented cabbage slaw) and tomato salsa, and is traditionally eaten by hand.
