Pupusas are small stuffed corn tortillas, popular in El Salvador. Or so Viva Vegan tells me. You make a simple corn dough and then stuff it with whatever you want that might be tasty. The basic recipe in Viva Vegan is for a mixture of plantain & black beans, so that's what we went with on our first pupusa attempt.
They look kind of like big chocolate chip cookies! The filling isn't supposed to poke out like that but it was kind of tricky.
Then you fry them up. They didn't do a super good job of sticking together, but upon review we've decided we didn't have enough water in the dough. They tasted great, though! Served along side Latin-spiced tomato sauce and a basic El Salvadoran slaw called curtido.
Yum!
