While Pupusas are an El Salvadorian staple they are also very popular in Guatemala. Pupusas are made of a thick handmade corn tortilla that is usually filled with cheese, beans, pork, chorizo, or a combination of ingredients. It is served with a marinated cabbage slaw with red chilies and vinegar.
Corn Tamales are made of masa, starchy corn, which is filled with meat and is wrapped with leaves and steamed. Another favorite is Rellenitos de Plátano which is boiled plantains that are mashed and formed into balls.
Refried black beans, sugar, and cinnamon are inserted and the mashed plantain’s center and the ball are formed around it. They are then fried in oil until brown and are an absolute treat for your taste buds.
