Cut 2 pounds of pork butt roast into small pieces.

Add 0.5 pounds of pork belly for fat.

Marinate the meat with 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Heat 1.5 cups of oil in a fryer or stovetop.

Carefully place the marinated pork pieces into the hot oil, turning them often to prevent burning.

Fry the pork for about 45 minutes to an hour until fully cooked.

In a pot, add 1 small bell pepper, 6 red tomatoes, 1 small onion cut in half, 1 small carrot, 1 red chile, 1 big chile, and 2 cloves of whole garlic to boil for salsa.

After about 20 minutes, check the pork pieces to ensure they are browning evenly.

Prepare the masa by mixing 3 cups masa harina with about 4 cups of room temperature water, adding more if needed to keep it moist.

Add a little salt to the masa to taste and mix well by hand until incorporated.

Let the masa sit in the bowl to keep its moisture.

After frying, set the pork aside to cool for about 15-20 minutes.

Boil 1 pound of fresh pinto beans with 2 cloves of garlic for about 3 hours until soft, then blend with salt to taste and 3 teaspoons of oil, cooking until thick.

Chop the cooled pork into small pieces for the food processor, adding in 2 pieces of the boiled bell pepper and the boiled carrot.

Shred 16 ounces of mozzarella cheese and 8 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese.

Blend the salsa ingredients and pour into a bowl, letting it cool for 15 minutes.

To make the pupusas, take a piece of masa and flatten it into a disc, creating a cup shape.

Fill the cup with a mixture of chicharron, cheese, and beans, then pinch the edges to seal.

Rub a little oil on your hands to help shape the pupusas and prevent sticking.
