Have You ever Seen A Beef Birria Stuffed Pupusa?

beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and pork is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

masa harina

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornmeal can be a budget-friendly alternative.

salsa

🥗Healthier: fresh pico de gallo

💰Cheaper: store-bought salsa

Pico de gallo is fresh and lower in preservatives.

Prepare birria by simmering beef with spices until tender, about 2-3 hours.

Mix masa harina with water and salt to form a dough.

Divide dough into balls and flatten each into a disc.

Place a spoonful of birria and cheese in the center of each disc.

Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly to form a pupusa.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry pupusas until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each.

Serve hot with cabbage slaw, salsa, lime wedges, and avocado.
