Ingredients

• 2 cups Masa Harina
• 1.5 cups Warm Water
• 1 cup Refried Beans
• 1 cup Cooked and Shredded Pork
• 1 cup Dairy-Free Shredded Cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the masa harina and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water one tablespoon at a time.

Step 2

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the refried beans, shredded pork, and dairy-free cheese together until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a ball.

Step 5

Flatten a dough ball into a thick disk, about 4 inches in diameter, using the palms of your hands.

Step 6

Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the disk.

Step 7

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely, then gently reshape it into a thick disk, ensuring the filling remains sealed inside.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 10

Cook the pupusas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Serve warm, traditionally with curtido (a pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa roja.
