Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

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

Fold the edges of the disc over the filling to seal it.

Flatten the filled pupusa gently to maintain its shape.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook the pupusas for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve with pickled cabbage, radishes, lime wedges, and salsa.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and onion before serving.
