A pupusa (Spanish pronunciation: [puˈpusa] from Pipil pupusaw) is a traditional Salvadoran dish made of a thick handmade corn tortilla (made using masa de maíz a cornmeal dough used in Latin American cuisine) that is usually filled with a blend of the following: cheese (queso) (usually a soft cheese called Quesillo found throughout Central America) cooked pork meat ground to a paste consistency (called chicharrón not to be confused with fried pork rind which is also known as chicharrón in some other countries) refried beans (frijoles refritos) or queso con loroco (loroco is a vine flower bud from Central America).The two most common pupusas are the pupusa de queso (cheese) and more popular pupusa revuelta with mixed ingredients of cheese beans and chicharrón.
