My dish is called “Pupusas” and we make it every single weekend in my family. The origin of this food actually comes from El Salvador, and it is a traditional food you can often find either in Salvadorean restaurants or you can make it at home. There are different types of pupusas, such as beans with cheese, zucchini with cheese, and there is also pork with cheese. It is made with masa which is made out of corn and rice flour. You fill the masa dough with the filling of your choice, and you put them on the griddle to cook. Once they are finished cooking you serve them hot with toppings. Some toppings include chopped cabbage, carrots, and jalapenos. The cabbage and carrots are pickled first and they also have a little spiciness to them. You can also add tomato salsa, which is not very spicy, but adds a lot of flavor. In my opinion, that actually makes the pupusa a lot better. This is special for my family and me because it not only brings back memories of my country, but it also brings back memories of going to church every Sunday and eating it together as a family.
