Ingredients
- 5 cups masa harina flour
- 4 cups water, approximately
- 16-24 ounces canned refried beans
- 3 cups soft white cheese
- light vegetable oil or light olive oil
Directions
1
In a large mixing bowl, gradually stir water into masa harina until dough forms a ball that can be handled.2
Into another bowl, empty the refried beans. Place the grated cheese into a separate bowl.3
Divide dough into about 25 pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten between the palms of your hands to about 1/2-inch thick. Put a spoonful of beans and a small handful of cheese into the center of each pupusa. Flatten again with the filling inside.4
Heat a heavy, wide-bottomed or flat skillet until hot. Brush with oil and cook pupusas on each side 4-5 minutes until a pale golden-brown. The outside should be firm.

This recipe turned out perfectly. I used a mixture of jack cheese and cotija. Definitely worth making the curtido cabbage slaw to go along with this. Thanks for the good directions.

Pupusas are so great!! The main way to make these pupusas are with chicharron (fried pork) or queso (cheese). My favorites are revueltas (mixed - chicharron w/queso). In order to make the chicharron you have to boil cubes of pork w/fattening until the water evaporates & all your left with is its own oils, make it until nice & brown. In a meat grinder or food processor just grind the chicharron until fine. & that will be your mix. You can use mozarella chese to put in for the filling, either by itself or mixed with chicharron. ENJOY!

I cut the recipe to 1 cup of masa since I wanted to try it out first. I added water until the dough reaches a cookie dough consistancy. For the filling I used mexican white cheese for quesadilla, spinkle some salts. There are so many types to masa harina so I just picked out the one made with precooked white corn. It came out very close to the one I had at the resturant back in San Jose, Ca.
