Receta Pupusas! What’d you call me?

Now, back to those pupusas!

A pupusa is a Latin American dish that is essentially a fresh corn tortilla that is typically lightly fried and stuffed with yummy goodness.

For my first attempt at making pupusas, I decided to keep it simple and just stuff the tortillas with skim mozzarella cheese.

For the base of the dish, I used Maseca brand corn flour. I found it pretty easily in the Mexican/Tex-Mex/Latin American section of my local Harris Teeter.

To make your dough, you add equal parts corn flour and warm water. I used 2 cups flour and 2 cups warm water. I kneaded the dough until it was well combined and found that it needed about 1/4 cup more water. You want to be able to pat out the dough and have it not crack…
