Ingredients
3 cups masa, I use Maseca brand
2 tsp salt
2 3/4 – 3 cups warm water
1 1/2 cup filling: shredded meat, refried beans, cooked veg
1 cup shredded cheese *optional
oil for frying
Directions
- Mix together to form a dough. Make sure its not too dry.
- Oil your hands slightly and pinch off a 1/4 cup sized piece, flatten into a disc, slightly thinner in the middle. Place a few tablespoons of filling and cheese in the middle and cupping your hand, bring side up into a purse, pinch of excess amount and add back into the bowl. Flatten into a disc carefully, fix any cracks.
- Brush griddle with a little oil and fry pupusas for 3 – 4 minutes each side until golden. They will puff slightly in the middle when done.

Notes
- Serve with some delicious curtido!
These are so good! My filling skills need a little practice, but it didn’t matter in the end because they turned out just fine. My family was requesting I make these again two days later, so I did!
Wonderful, I’m glad your family is enjoy them!
