Introduction

A Salvadoran Traditional Dish like a thick stuffed tortilla A Salvadoran Traditional Dish like a thick stuffed tortilla
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 cup Masa Flour For Tamales (by SHANIA23511)
    1 cup (8 fl oz) Water, tap
    0.5 cup Rosarittas No-Fat Refried Beans
    .5 cup, shredded Mexican Cheese, queso asadero

Directions

Mix masa and water together, adding more water as needed until you have a moist, but not wet, playdough consistency. (It should not crack when you handle it). Cover with a towel and let sit in the bowl for 10 minutes. Split it into 8 balls.

In a separate bowl, mix the cheese and beans together. (I also sometimes add some diced green chilis for flavor.)

Flatten the balls slightly, and then place 2 tbs of refried beans and cheese mixture into center, then wrap the masa around the stuffing. Carefully flatten the pupusa (a tortilla press is handy).

Place on a hot, lightly sprayed griddle or pan until browned on one side, then flip to other side. Usually topped with a cabbage salsa called curtido.
