Stephanie Frick is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy and proficient human resources executive with experience as a chief of military personnel. A certified Senior Professional in Human Resources, Stephanie Frick also enjoys food such as pupusas from El Salvador where she was born.
A traditional El Salvador dish, a pupusa is a stuffed corn tortilla prepared on a griddle that is believed to have originated centuries ago. Fillings used for the dish usually consist of cheese, beans, or meat. Cornmeal dough, referred to as masa de maíz, is used to make the corn tortillas for pupusas, which results in a thick tortilla with a nutty flavor similar to tamales.
Pupusas can be found in several varieties depending on their filling. A pupusa de queso is filled with cheese, while a pupusa de chicharrón is stuffed with traditional seasoned pork. A pupusa revuelta is filled with cheese, meat, and beans. The dish, which is usually eaten by hand, is often served with salsa and pickled cabbage referred to as Curtido.
