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.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the refried beans, shredded pork, and dairy-free cheese together until well combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each one into a ball.
Flatten a dough ball into a thick disk, about 4 inches in diameter, using the palms of your hands.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the disk.
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.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
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.
Serve warm, traditionally with curtido (a pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa roja.
