Ingredients
3 c. masa harina, a kind of flour
2 tsp. salt
2-3/4 c. warm water
1 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 c. refried beans
2 tbsp. oil
Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt.
Add the water and mix with a spoon until the mixture thickens.
Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the dough in 14 balls.
With your hands, make a pocket in the middle of each ball. Place 1 tsp. of refried beans and 1 tbsp. of shredded sheese into the pocket and cover with the edges of the dough. Reform the ball and flatten into a thick disk shape.
Place oil in a non-stick pan and heat over medium-heat.
Once hot, add a pupusa to the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until sides begin to brown.
Remove from pan and place on plate.
