Canned beans are more accessible and quicker to prepare.

Mix masa harina and water in a bowl until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into equal portions.

Flatten each portion into a disc.

Place cheese and refried beans in the center of each disc.

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

Flatten the filled dough gently to form a thicker disc.

Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.

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

Serve hot with cabbage slaw and tomato sauce.
