Instructions

Step 1

*Mix maseca, water, oil, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Dough should be moist and have the texture of play-dough. It should not crack when pinched. If dough is too dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached. Cover dough and allow it to rest while mixing the filling. Heat re-fried beans for 30 seconds in the microwave to soften. Combine with shredded cheese. Divide dough into 10 equally sized portions and form into balls. Wet hands with a bit of water and vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Press dough ball out flat until it’s about 1/2″ thick. Add 2 tablespoons of filling mixture into the center of the dough. Pinch the dough closed around the filling until it forms a ball again. Gently press the ball back out flat until it’s about 1/2″ thick again. Place onto a lightly-oiled griddle over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until pupusa surface begins to brown and blister. Serve hot with salsa or curtido.
