Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use warm water when mixing the masa harina to achieve the right consistency.
• You can customize the filling by adding other ingredients like diced vegetables or cooked beans.
• If the dough cracks while forming the pupusas, wet your hands with water to help seal the edges.
• For a healthier option, you can bake the pupusas in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Leftover pupusas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Pupusas are best served hot and fresh.
• Serve with a side of curtido, a traditional Salvadoran cabbage slaw, and tomato salsa.
• You can also serve pupusas with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for added creaminess.
• Pupusas make a great appetizer, snack, or main course.
• They are perfect for parties or gatherings as they can be made in advance and reheated when needed.
