Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the eggs and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together; it should be soft but not too sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to fully absorb the moisture.
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.
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.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into a disc about 5 inches in diameter.
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.
Gently re-flatten each filled pupusa slightly, being careful not to expose the filling.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pupusa for about 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, delicious keto pupusas.
