Anyone ever made pupusas?
 
John H
I'm thinking of giving them a shot using this recipe:

https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/pupusas

Never had 'em before. But it might be time we all learn to enjoy 'south of the border' food.
........


I haven’t. It looks like a modified tor-tillo to me. Lol!

I think a filling of cheese and chorizo would taste pretty good. I might spend the big bucks and get
a bag of the Masa stuff and give it a try.

It looks like a real quesadilla, (not the thing you get at Taco Bell)
except they are deep fried.
We had some in Mexico on a horse back riding adventure with lunch
included. We were riding through the woods with some gringo girl from
Nevada who wintered in Mexico and we came to a small shack in a
clearing. An old Mexican woman made these for us along with a tray of
fruits and stuff,
It was actually an interesting day getting the perspective of an
American who lived out in the boonies in Mexico hustling up a living.
One tip we got, always wipe off any bottle you are going to drink out
of, before and after opening it. They are filthy. Spill a little after
you open it and wipe again.
Since these things are usually hot as soon as you leave town, that is
not a problem, they will foam over.

I do not care for Mexican chorizo. Get some Portuguese chorizo instead.
Much less greasy. Costco here sells Silva’s brand, but may not in east
coast. Is actually a local manufacturer to us.

Sorry, I thought the 'It' and the 'they' in that sentence both referred to papusas. I didn't know
quesadillas were deep fried either.

These things they called a quesadilla was a dough ball with stuff
inside, mostly cheese that they deep fried.

My normal order of fajitas texanas at the local El Paso doesn't have much:

not in Flyover, Florida.

Depends where in Mexico the food originated from. Mexico City is white
cheese and little spice, where the desert areas use lots of hot spice. We
seem to have several different style restaurants around where I live with
different styles of Latin food. Southern Mexico and Guatemala make tamales
with banana leaves wrappers.

I just used to see what they had their wife prepare them for lunch or
what they got off the Mexican "La Cucaracha" Coach.
Lots of cheese, some fatty meat and a lot of things I don't eat
floating around in it. I do understand these guys are burning 6000
calories or more a day, salt is important to them and they eat cheap
but I also didn't see a lot of skinny Mexicans.

what they got off the Mexican "La Cucaracha" Coach.
Lots of cheese, some fatty meat and a lot of things I don't eat
floating around in it. I do understand these guys are burning 6000
calories or more a day, salt is important to them and they eat cheap
but I also didn't see a lot of skinny Mexicans.


The thing is, fat doesn't make you fat. Carbs and calories make you fat.

The wrong kind of fat makes your heart work really hard, though.

Anyone ever made pupusas?

I'm thinking of giving them a shot using this recipe:

Never had 'em before. But it might be time we all learn to enjoy
'south of the border' food.

I haven’t. It looks like a modified tor-tillo to me. Lol!

It looks like a real quesadilla, (not the thing you get at Taco Bell)
except they are deep fried.
We had some in Mexico on a horse back riding adventure with lunch
included. We were riding through the woods with some gringo girl from
Nevada who wintered in Mexico and we came to a small shack in a
clearing. An old Mexican woman made these for us along with a tray of
fruits and stuff,
It was actually an interesting day getting the perspective of an
American who lived out in the boonies in Mexico hustling up a living.
One tip we got, always wipe off any bottle you are going to drink out
of, before and after opening it. They are filthy. Spill a little after
you open it and wipe again.
Since these things are usually hot as soon as you leave town, that is
not a problem, they will foam over.

Papusas are not deep fried.

Hence the "except" ;-)


Deep fried is normally a chimichanga.

These things they called a quesadilla was a dough ball with stuff
inside, mostly cheese that they deep fried.

That was a quesapusa. They're OK if you like lots of fat.

Isn't that the definition of Mexican food, lots of fat.


Not at all. There are many healthy "Mexican food" choices. Well, perhaps
not in Flyover, Florida.


I just used to see what they had their wife prepare them for lunch or
what they got off the Mexican "La Cucaracha" Coach.

Living proof of the "many healthy "Mexican food" choices":
