Fold the edges of the disc over the filling to enclose it completely.

Flatten the filled dough gently to form a thicker disc.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook each pupusa for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove from skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining pupusas.
