Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1 cup refried black beans
- 1 cup vegan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add warm water while mixing with your hands until a smooth and pliable dough forms, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the refried black beans and vegan cheese until well combined.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 4 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the bean and cheese mixture onto the center of each disc.
Step 7
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a pocket.
Step 8
Gently flatten the filled dough ball back into a disc, ensuring the filling doesn't spill out.
Step 9
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 10
Cook each pupusa for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Pupusas de Frijol con Queso with curtido (Salvadoran cabbage slaw) and salsa, if desired.
