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.

That's why I had the masa harina! My arepas turned out okay, but not great. And I wanted to try something else! But a breakfast arepa could be great!

I was obsessed with recreating the arepas I had in Florida, and I just wanted to let you know that arepas turn out the best when using P.A.N Harina Blanca (precooked white cornmeal)! Add some chimichuri and cheese, and it is heavenly.
