Zubereitung von Salvadorian Pupusas

In a large mixing bowl, gradually add warm water to the masa harina, mixing until a soft, workable dough forms. Add water gradually until you reach the right consistency.
In a separate bowl, prepare your refried beans.
In another bowl, shred your cheese.
Divide the dough into 25 equal-sized pieces.
Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Flatten each ball between your palms to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Place a spoonful of refried beans and a small handful of cheese in the center of each flattened dough circle.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges tightly to prevent leakage. Gently flatten the pupusa again into a thick disc, ensuring the filling remains securely inside.
Heat a heavy, wide-bottomed skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Carefully place the pupusas in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the pupusas from the skillet and serve immediately with curtido and your favorite hot sauce.
