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
Instructions
- 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.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal sized balls.
- Flatten each ball into a disk with your hands, then place a spoonful of grated cheese in the center.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to enclose it completely and form a stuffed ball.
- Flatten the stuffed ball into a thick tortilla, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 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.
- Serve the pupusas hot with curtido and salsa on the side.
- Enjoy!
