Ingredients pupusas

how to make pupusas

start by making your masa. you will add your oil, harina, water & salt to bowl & incorporate with your hand. your mixture will be dough like consistency, you can add more harina if your mixture is still to wet.

crumble cheese into small pieces place into a small bowl. Chop your chicaron into small pieces ( I like to buy at mexican market). place into a small bowl. make sure your beans are nice and thick after you refry them and let cool completely add to bowl.

I also use a small bowl with some cooking oil about 2 tablespoons to dip your fingers into makes working with masa easier.

now heat a griddle while you start working your masa

dip fingers into oil, start to roll small balls, you will need to make a small well in middle, one you have a good size you can add your cheese or beans, or chicaron or all 3 if you like. don't over fill. now roll masa over mixture and start to flatten out between your hands. place into dry griddle cook about 3-4 minutes each side. enjoy with a fresh cortido & crema drizzle. .
