Vegan Pupusas with Curtido

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 cups masa harina
• 3 ½ to 4 cups warm water
• 2 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1 15oz can refried pinto or black beans

  (1 cup needed)
• 6oz soyrizo

  (1 cup needed)
• 1 package vegan cheese, that melts
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or olive oil
• Curtido
• Restaurant Style Salsa

Instructions

• 1 Prepare the dough by mixing the masa harina and salt together in a large bowl.
  Then slowly add the warm water in a little at a time. You may not need all of
  the water. You want the dough to be the consistency of clay.
• 2 Cover the prepared dough with a damp towel to keep it from drying out and let it
  sit for 10 minutes. If the dough does dry out just add more water.
• 3 To make the pupusas, start by forming a ¼ cup size portion of the masa dough
  into a ball. Then flatten the ball out into a disc that is about 4” in diameter.
  You may want to wet your fingers to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
• 4 Top the center of the disc with about 1 teaspoon of refried beans, 1 teaspoon of
  vegan cheese, and ½ tablespoon of soyrizo. You can vary the amounts if you like,
  but don’t use more than a little over a tablespoon of filling in total.
• 5 Next, bring the edges of the dough up and over to encase the filling. Pinch the
  edges together to form a seal. Now, pat the sealed dough ball out until it forms
  a flat disc again. The disc should be about ⅓ inch thick.
• 6 If a hole or crack forms in the pupusa just use a little bit of the dough to
  patch it. With the clay like texture of the dough it is easy to add more and
  then smooth it out with a bit of water.
• 7 Lay the pupusa on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Then
  repeat the process until you've used all the dough.
• 8 To cook, heat a cast iron or non-stick pan to medium heat. Brush the pan with a
  little bit of oil using a pastry brush. Place 2-3 pupusas in the pan and cook
  for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and warmed through.
• 9 Serve with curtido and
