Pupusas - P.A.N. Global Cooking Challenge - Weelicious

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: queso fresco

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

refried beans

🥗Healthier: black bean puree

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Canned beans are more accessible and quicker to prepare.

Put 2 cups of P.A.N. white cornmeal into a large bowl.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of water.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and stir with a fork.

Mix everything with your hands and divide the mixture into six equal pieces.

Flatten each ball into a large pancake shape.

Add fillings of your choice (Mexican blend grated cheese, cooked beans, or shredded beef/chicken).

Curl the cornmeal mixture around the filling and flatten it out again into a large pancake about 6 inches across.

Place a large cast iron or sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil.

Once the oil is hot, add three pupusas to the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden.
