New breakfast/lunch/dinner recipe alert: Mushroom Pupusas.

Mushroom Pupusas are a great vegetarian/gluten free meal for you and your family. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

What’s a pupusa?  It’s like a very thick stuffed corn tortilla. They’re delicious and I made them for the first time when I shot all of the recipe cards for One Potato.   These ones have mushrooms in the dough and are stuffed with cheese which melts into GOODNESS.

They’re incredibly filling too! 

Mushroom Pupusas are a great vegetarian/gluten free meal for you and your family. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

I like them for breakfast with eggs. Lunch and dinner with a salad and dipping things! I can make the dough a day ahead of time so I can make them on the fly. They’re my new favorite thing.
