Pupusas are hand-made and thick. Like all corn tortillas, they are made using masa harina. They originate from El Salvador.

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 2 cups of grated cheese (use a mixture of cheeses; Cheddar, Mozzarella and ricotta)
• 3 tablespoons of double cream
• ½ a cup of chopped spring onions
• Sea salt to taste

Method

1. Make the tortillas as shown here, but don't cook them yet
2. Mix all of the ingredients together to make a soft paste
3. Divide the mixture into balls, slightly larger than golf-balls and place each ball in the centre of the tortilla and press the mixture out, leaving a gap around the edge
4. Cover with another tortilla and press together to seal
5. Heat a griddle pan or heavy frying pan and wipe over with a lightly oiled kitchen towel
6. Cook each pupusa until it is nicely toasted. This will take about 4 minutes a side
7. Keep warm while you cook the remaining pupusas

Chef's tip

Serve with curtido

Serving suggestions

To prevent the tortillas sticking to the press, place the 'golf-ball' inside a folded piece of Bake-O-Glide
