Ingredients
- 4 cups masa harina, or more to taste
- 2 cups water, or as needed
- ½ cup vegetable oil for frying
- Cheese and refried beans, for the filling
Method
- Mix masa harina and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl by hand. Add the remaining water slowly, about 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough is moist but still firm. Cover with a wet towel.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Take a golf ball-sized piece of dough and roll into a ball in your hands. Make a hole in the dough ball with your thumb; put a small amount of cheese/beans inside the hole, close it up, and flatten the ball with your hands into a thick tortilla shape. Place pupusa in the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Serve with vinegary coleslaw, sour cream, and veggies.
