Kale is often less expensive and can be used similarly.

Slice the tomato into very small cubes.

Dice the whole white onion into small pieces.

Dice the garlic cloves very small.

Chop the baby spinach into larger pieces (doesn't have to be fine).

Heat a pan and add the chopped spinach, cooking until it wilts (no additional liquid added).

Once the spinach is wilted, place it in a strainer.

In the same pan, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.

Add the diced tomato to the sautéed onion and incorporate well.

Add the diced garlic and sauté for about three more minutes until the tomato is soft.

Add 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon to the mixture and stir well.

Combine the sautéed mixture with the mozzarella cheese in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix the maseca with water until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it holds together without cracking when squeezed.

Take a portion of the dough and flatten it into a disc.

Add a generous filling of the spinach mixture into the center of the disc.

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

Flatten the filled dough gently to form a thick patty.

Heat a skillet until hot and place the pupusas in the skillet.

Cook the pupusas until they start bubbling and the edges are crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
