Does anyone know how to make pupusas?

Answer 1

Recipe Ingredients:
2 c Masa harina
1 1/2 c Warm water
1 T Ground cumin, made from
-lightly toasted cumin seed
Salt and pepper to taste
6 oz Ranchero cheese, or mild
-melting cheese such as
-Monterey jack, grated (2
-cups)
1/2 c Chopped cilantro

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recipe Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, mix together the masa harina, water, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir into a manageable dough.
The dough should be soft but not sticky; add more flour if needed.
If dough is dry and hard to form, add more water.
To make 3-inch round papusas, put about 1/2 cup of the dough in your hand for each papusa.
Roll into a ball and flatten in your hand.
Put 1/3 cup cheese, 1 teaspoon cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste in the center.
Work the edges up over the filling and again form a ball, completely enclosing the filling.
This takes only a few seconds.
Flatten each ball to about 1/4 inch or less and cook the papusas on a hot, lightly oiled griddle for about 3 minutes per side, or until both sides are lightly browned.
Serve warm.
NOTE: In El Salvador, vendors everywhere sell a street food called papusas.
They look like slightly thick tortillas, about three inches in diameter.
Hidden inside is a filling -- either of cheese, as in this recipe, or spicy meat.
They are always served with a finely chopped vinegary coleslaw with fiery pepper and sometimes cilantro.

Answer 2

5 cups masa harina flour
4 cups water, approximately
16-24 ounces canned refried beans
3 cups soft white cheese
light vegetable oil or light olive oil

In a large mixing bowl, gradually stir water into masa harina until dough forms a ball that can be handled.
Into another bowl, empty the refried beans. Place the grated cheese into a separate bowl.
Divide dough into about 25 pieces. Roll each into a ball and flatten between the palms of your hands to about 1/2-inch thick. Put a spoonful of beans and a small handful of cheese into the center of each pupusa. Flatten again with the filling inside.
Heat a heavy, wide-bottomed or flat skillet until hot. Brush with oil and cook pupusas on each side 4-5 minutes until a pale golden-brown. The outside should be firm.

Answer 3

2 Cups Masa Harina

1 Cup Water

A filling of cheese or fried pork rinds or refired beans.

In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina and water and knead well. Knead in more water, one tablespoonful at a time, if needed to make a moist, yet firm dough. (It should not crack at the edges when you press down on it.) Cover and set aside to rest 5-10 minutes.

Roll dough into a log and cut into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Press a hole in each ball with your thumb. Put about 1 tablespoon of desired filling into each ball and fold the dough over to completely enclose it. Press the ball out with your palms to form a disc. Be careful that the filling doesn't spill out.

Line a tortilla press with plastic and press out each ball to about 5-6" wide and about 1/4" thick. If you don't have a tortilla press, place the dough between plastic wrap and roll it out with a rolling pin.

Heat an ungreased skillet over high heat. Cook each pupusa for about 1-2 minutes on each side till lightly browned and blistered. Remove to a plate and cover till all pupusas are done. Serve with curtido.

Answer 4

YUM!! yeah go to the store and get some instant corn mix i use the brand mazeca. get the ingredients that you want like cheese or pork beans or loroco. for the corn mix add some salt to give some flavor mix with water until its good enough to hold in the other things. cook the pork until it is fully cooked but still tender. get to pieces of plastic wrap to make it easier to flatten out the corn mixture. then add the ingredients inside, cover it, pinch the sides closed and fry in a little bit of oil.
