Mientras tanto, sazona los trozos de panceta con el resto de la sal.

En una sartΓ©n profunda o caldero, calienta el aceite y frΓ­e la panceta a fuego medio-bajo para que suelte su grasa y se cocine bien por dentro.

Sube el fuego al final para que la piel se ponga crujiente y dorada. Retira y escurre en papel absorbente.

Pupusas
Vegetarian πŸ‘€ Demo
  • 0.5 masa harina Baking & Dry Goods
  • 0.375 warm water Beverages
  • 0.25 tsp salt Spices & Seasonings
  • 0.25 cup refried beans Canned & Jarred
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Dairy & Alternatives
  • 0.5 tbsp vegetable oil Oils & Vinegars
πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Cooking Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix the masa harina, salt, and warm water until a soft, playdough-like dough forms. If it is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

In a separate small bowl, mix the refried beans and cheese together.

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Using lightly oiled hands, make an indentation in a ball to form a small cup.

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the bean and cheese mixture into the center.

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to seal it completely, then gently flatten it into a disk about 1/2 inch thick.

Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Cook each pupusa for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and the cheese begins to melt through slightly.
