Method
Pupusas
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the masa harina, warm water, and salt until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.

Shape the Pupusas
Divide the dough into six equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disc, about 1/4 inch thick. Place a tablespoon of shredded cheese and a tablespoon of shredded pork in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over to enclose the filling and gently flatten again to form a thick disc.

Cook the Pupusas
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Cook each pupusa for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Once the yuca is cooked, drain and let it cool slightly. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the yuca pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
