How to Make El Salvadoran Pupusas, Part 2

Make balls of the filling and dough, dividing into even amounts.

Use a tortilla press lined with plastic to form the pupusas.

Take a ball of dough, press it in the tortilla press to flatten it.

Stuff the flattened dough with the filling, fold it over, and seal it like a dumpling.

Heat oil to 300°F and fry the pupusas until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Check doneness by color and texture, ensuring they are crispy and not oily.
