In a skillet without any fat, place 0.5 lb of pork meat that contains fat and protein.

Sauté the pork until it is evenly browned.

Add 1 tomato, 0.5 green chili, 1 piece of onion, and 4 garlic cloves to the skillet and sauté together with the pork.

Once the meat is browned, transfer the mixture to a food processor.

In the same skillet where the vegetables and meat were cooked, sauté the cooked beans with 1 piece of onion, 0.5 green chili, and garlic until golden.

Blend the beans and season with a little salt before sautéing them again.

In the same skillet, sauté the pork cracklings without adding any fat, seasoning with salt to taste, and cook for about 20 minutes.

For the curtido, shred the cabbage and mix it with salt, oregano, 1 piece of raw beet (shredded), 1 piece of carrot (shredded), and 1 piece of red onion (optional jalapeño slices).

Add equal parts of water and vinegar to the mixture and mix well, letting it rest.

For the sauce, cook 2 tomatoes, 2 garlic cloves, 1 piece of onion, and 1 piece of green chili in 1 cup of water, then blend and cook again, adding salt to taste until it boils and then turn off the heat.

Use Maseca flour for the dough, or you can prepare it from corn grain.

Sift the flour and add water, kneading well until you achieve your desired consistency.

Knead the quesillo salvadoreño to soften it before use.

In a bowl, divide the quesillo, pork cracklings, and the refried beans once they are cool.

Moisten your hands with water and form a tortilla that is neither too thick nor too thin.

Fill the tortilla with refried beans, cheese, and pork cracklings to make the revueltas pupusas.

Place the pupusas on a comal or griddle without any fat, cooking until the edges are cooked before flipping them to avoid deformation.
