Let's Get Started
- In a large bowl, combine the masa harina, water, and salt. Knead until the dough is smooth and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Flatten each ball into a disc and place a spoonful of refried beans and cheese in the center.
- Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges, then flatten the ball again into a thick disc.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the pupusas for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Serve the pupusas hot with curtido and salsa on the side.
