Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups masa harina
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 0.5 pounds pork shoulder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup chicharrón (cooked crispy pork rinds)
- 0.5 cup refried beans
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the masa for the pupusas. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups masa harina and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add 1.5 cups of warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough until it is smooth and pliable, about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rest for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the pork by cutting the pork shoulder into small cubes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pork until fully cooked and browned, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Once cooked, use a food processor to pulse the pork until finely shredded.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded cooked pork, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 0.5 cup chicharrón, and 0.5 cup refried beans. This is your filling for the pupusas.
Divide the masa dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Take one ball and, using your hands, flatten it into a disk about 4 inches in diameter.
Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture onto the center of the disk. Carefully bring the edges of the disk up and over the filling to encase it, pinching the edges to seal it well. Once sealed, gently flatten the dough back into a thick disk, being careful not to expose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining balls of dough and filling.
Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
Cook the pupusas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve the pupusas warm with a side of curtido and salsa roja for a traditional Salvadoran experience.
