Let's Get Started

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