Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut Flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium Husk Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 0.5 cup Cream Cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.75 cup Canned Black Soybeans
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili Powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the eggs and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together; it should be soft but not too sticky.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to fully absorb the moisture.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the canned black soybeans, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook for 5 minutes until the beans are warmed through.

Step 5

Transfer the beans to a bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher. Combine the mashed beans with cream cheese and shredded mozzarella to create the filling.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a disc about 5 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place 2 tablespoons of the bean and cheese mixture in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal.

Step 8

Gently re-flatten each filled pupusa slightly, being careful not to expose the filling.

Step 9

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pupusa for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, delicious keto pupusas.
