Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups masa harina (corn flour)
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 cup grated cheese (such as quesillo or mozzarella)
  • Salt to taste
All

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine masa harina and warm water. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. Add more water if needed to get a pliable consistency.
  2. Divide the dough into 8 equal sized balls.
  3. Flatten each ball into a disk with your hands, then place a spoonful of grated cheese in the center.
  4. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to enclose it completely and form a stuffed ball.
  5. Flatten the stuffed ball into a thick tortilla, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the pupusas for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve the pupusas hot with curtido and salsa on the side.
  8. Enjoy!
