Vegan Pupusas recipe

How much do you know about El Salvador? This small Central American country does not receive the attention it deserves. Salvadorans are extremely friendly, warm and welcoming. Your heart will feel like exploding once you experience the kindness of Salvadoreans. I was born in New York and my family roots are from El Salvador and we're filled with hearts of Gold. Pupusas is a famous salvadorean dish. I decided to mix my veganism to an authentic dish. This recipe is very healthy and will only serve 2 pupusas. Enjoy <3
