Prepare the cheese by mixing it with salt, water, tomato, red onion, and green bell pepper using your hands until well combined.

Set the cheese mixture aside.

Mix corn flour and rice flour in a bowl until well combined.

Add water to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Heat the grill on medium-high heat.

Spread oil on the grill once it's hot enough.

Grab a small amount of the dough and shape it into a tortilla.

Place some of the cheese mixture in the middle of the tortilla and fold it over, sealing the edges.

Rub oil on the dough and press it slightly to flatten it.

Cook the pupusas for about a minute on each side, flipping when browned.
