Chef’s Tasting Menu

Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

Garlic mayo is a creamy sauce blending mayonnaise with minced garlic, often used to enhance various dishes.

Garlic Mayo

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

In a large mixing bowl, combine masa harina, warm water, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Mix the Dough Ingredients

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Knead the Dough

In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until translucent. Add the shrimp, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp are opaque, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Cook the Shrimp

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the minced garlic and chopped onion. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Cook the Beef

Take a portion of the dough (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it into a disc. Place a spoonful of your desired filling (shrimp or beef) in the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. Flatten gently to form a thick disc.

Form the Pupusas

Heat a non-stick skillet or comal over medium heat. Cook each pupusa for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Cook the Pupusas

Serve the pupusas warm with optional toppings like pico de gallo, sour cream, and hot sauce on the side.
