I was first introduced to pupusas by a caucasian couple on my mission. All it took was one bite and I was in love. A pupusa is essentially a tortilla that has been stuffed with meat, cheese and/or beans and then topped with a shredded cabbage mix. They have honestly become one of my favorite dishes. I have yet to make them myself (and I’m scared to try… though I’ve heard that my mother-in-law makes the best pupusas ever… maybe she’ll teach me someday).

There is a little place on Center Street in Provo that makes pretty good ones. It is a teeny little place with fold-up chairs and plastic tables, but really is well worth the visit (even if you don’t speak spanish). Each pupusa costs $1.60, you can choose what you want them to be filled with, and they are made fresh on the spot. I usually stick with either plain cheese or a bean and cheese combo. Seriously so delish!
