PUPUSA RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of water
- 5 cups masa harina flour
- 16 to 24 ounces of canned refried beans
- 3 cups soft white cheese
Preparation:
1. Using a large mixing bowl, slowly pour water into masa harina. Stir until dough forms a ball that can be handled.
2. In a separate bowl, pour the refried beans. Place the grated cheese into another bowl.
3. Divide dough into about 25 pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten between the palms of your hands to about 1/2-inch thick. Put a spoonful of beans and a small handful of cheese into the center of each pupusa. Flatten again with the filling inside.
4. Fry the pupusas in a flat skillet. Cook each side 4 to 5 minutes until a pale golden brown. The outside should be firm and crisp.
