Making the Pupusa
In a bowl, mix masa harina and water until a dough forms. Take a portion of the dough and flatten it into a disc. Place cheese and optional refried beans in the center, then fold the edges over to seal. Cook on a hot griddle for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Preparing the Tamale
