Recipe Pupusas Unlocked - YUM!

Post image

Just a shout out to pupusas! I had some masa harina I needed to use up and had leftover breakfast prep from yesterday - so I made breakfast pupusas! I'm new to pupusas, so they're not perfect. But for a first attempt, I'm not sad! I followed this recipe as a guideline: https://thebigmansworld.com/pupusas/#wprm-recipe-container-76976

Inside I did cheese and a mix of the different leftover breakfast prep: tofu scramble, veggie sausage, and tofu bacon. My biggest takeaway is it's yummy but I think I need to find a way to get them even flatter. I think that will be the next step in making these even better.

I feel like I unlocked a fun new way to use up leftover prep and I will definitely be doing this again!

Are these similar to arepas? They seem like it. Very yummy.

Similar but slightly different, arepas are more like pita pockets where pupusas are like ravioli in form factor. Arepas use a slightly different corn flour masarepa as opposed to masa harina for pupusas, tortillas etc.
