Oh pupusas. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways ...
OK. I'm not really going to be that dramatic. But I will say this: If you're moseying around the Des Moines Farmer's Market or spot an El Salvadoran restaurant anytime soon, you better stop for a pupusa.
This is what they look like at the farmer's market:
According to my quick research, pupusas were created by the Pipil tribes from what is now El Salvador. Basically, a pupusa is a thick, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with ingredients such as cheese, pork, squash, or refried beans. My favorite—called the mixed pupusa at the farmer's market—combines cheese and meat. Just make sure you get pickled cabbage relish and hot sauce on top.
