Delicious and comforting bean and cheese pupusas, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 cup refried beans (black or pinto)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or Monterey Jack)
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine masa harina and salt, gradually adding warm water. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

- Flatten each ball into a disc, approximately ½ inch thick.
- Spread about a tablespoon of refried beans in the center, followed by a tablespoon of cheese.
- Carefully fold the edges over the filling, sealing it completely.

- Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
Notes
Consider adding spices or herbs to the masa for a unique twist. Practice makes perfect, so don’t be discouraged if the first few don’t turn out perfectly.
