Ingredients

• 2 cups Masa Harina (Gluten-Free Certified)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Refried Beans
• 1 cup Queso Oaxaca or Mozzarella
• 0.5 cup Cooked and Crumbled Pork Chorizo
• 0.25 cup Cooking Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Gradually add water while stirring with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms.

Step 2

Let the masa dough rest for about 10 minutes. This rest allows the masa to absorb the water fully, making it easier to work with and ensuring the pupusas have a tender texture.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the refried beans, cheese, and crumbled chorizo until evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the masa dough into 8 equal balls. Using your hands, flatten each ball into a disk about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 5

Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of each disk. Gently fold the edges of the masa over the filling to encase it completely. Pinch to seal and reshape into a flat disk about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the surface, enough to lightly coat.

Step 7

Carefully place the pupusas onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust and the fillings are heated through.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pupusas to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm pupusas with traditional curtido (a Salvadoran cabbage slaw) and salsa roja for a complete experience.
