A pupusa is a thick, hand-made corn tortilla (made using masa, a corn flour used in Hispanic foods, or rice flour) that is stuffed with one or more of the following: cheese (queso) (usually a soft Salvadoran cheese called Quesillo), fried pork rind (chicharrones), chicken (pollo), refried beans (frijoles refritos), or queso y loroco (loroco is a shrub flower bud from Central America). There is also the pupusa revueltas (with mixed ingredients of cheese, pork, and beans). Pupusas are from El Salvador, but immigrants have brought the dish to areas of residence such as Northern California (The San Francisco Bay Area), Southern California, Virginia, Washington D.C., and other locations, where there are now many pupuserias (a place where pupusas are sold).
