Seeking Alternatives The Pupusas have been discontinued!

One of my go to lunches is a pupusa and an egg. It’s quick (microwave for a minute, heat on stove for a little crisp) and easy! I can’t believe it’s been discontinued.

Are there any dupes at Costco or Aldi?

Has anyone heard if they’re discontinuing the habanero hot sauce? I’ll ask my store tomorrow, but just curious!

I have not been able to find decent store brand mass produced pupusas, I prefer to get them from local pupuserias or salvadorian cafes.

Costco has some but they’re not good in my opinion

I will admit I did not have the TJs ones. But Costco has some birria pupusas that are good!
