Canned beans are more accessible and quicker to prepare.

Introduce the ingredients for making pupusas: masa, hot water, refried beans, and homemade cashew cheese.

Mix the masa with hot water to make it tender, as store-bought masa requires this to achieve the right texture.

Put on gloves to prevent the masa from sticking to your hands.

Take a portion of masa and flatten it into a disc shape, ensuring it is not too thick.

Add filling (refried beans or cashew cheese) to the center of the disc.

Fold the edges of the masa over the filling to encase it, ensuring no filling is exposed.

Pinch off any excess masa to keep the pupusa neat.

Flatten the filled masa ball into a disc again, ensuring it is evenly shaped.

Heat a pan on medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the pupusas in the hot pan until they are golden brown on both sides, checking for a crispy edge.
