Dough Preparation

1. Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and salt. Gradually add the water while mixing with your hands or a spoon until a soft, pliable dough forms. The dough should not be sticky, but should hold together well.

2. Rest the Dough

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the rice flour to fully hydrate and makes the dough easier to work with.

Filling Preparation

3. Prepare the Filling

In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheese and refried beans together until well combined. If using, add the chopped jalapeños for extra flavor and mix until evenly distributed.

Pupusa Assembly and Cooking

4. Form the Pupusas

Divide the rested dough into equal portions (about 8-10 pieces). Take one piece of dough and flatten it into a small disc in the palm of your hand. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center, then carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling to encase it completely. Gently flatten the filled dough ball into a disc shape again.

5. Cook the Pupusas

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the pupusa on the hot surface and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

6. Serve

Serve the pupusas hot, with a side of curtido (pickled cabbage) and salsa, if desired.
