Pupusas de Queso

Cultural Context

Pupusas, a traditional dish from El Salvador, are thick corn tortillas filled with various ingredients, most commonly cheese. They are a staple of Salvadoran cuisine, often enjoyed during family gatherings and celebrations. The preparation of pupusas is an art form, with each family having their own variations and fillings. Today, pupusas have gained popularity beyond El Salvador, celebrated in various Latin American communities and even in international food festivals.

1

Combine cornmeal and salt in a bowl.

2

Gradually add water to the cornmeal mixture until a firm but soft dough forms.

3

Prepare the filling by mixing chopped spinach, grated mozzarella, feta cheese, dried garlic, and salt in a bowl.

4

Knead the filling with your hands to reduce the volume of the spinach.

5

Wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking while forming pupusas.

6

Take 2 tablespoons of dough and shape it into a ball.

7

Make a slit in the ball and add 1 tablespoon of the filling inside.

8

Close the ball to seal the filling and flatten it slightly.

9

Spread oil on the outside of the pupusa and flatten it further by passing it between your palms.

10

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the pupusa until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

11

Remove the pupusa from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
