Salvadoran Food

- Use of tomatoes, corn, squash and beans reflects indigenous influence.
- Turkey is a popular Christmas dish in El Salvador.
- The pupusa is a unique Salvadoran dish--a thick, stuffed tortilla

Like other Central American cuisines, Salvadoran Food combines indigenous and Spanish influences and includes tortillas, tamales, beans and rice. El Salvador, however, has its own distinct culinary traditions, increasingly recognized around the world.
Spreading Tradition

The Salvadoran Civil War of the 1980s prompted a massive migration of Salvadorans to North America. The result has been an unprecedented spreading of El Salvador's culinary traditions. Chief among these has been the nation's signature fast-food: the pupusa, a thick tortilla stuffed with meat, beans and/or cheese, that can be found in virtually any North American city.
