Ingredients

For filling:

1/4 pound small red kidney beans

1 tablespoon finely minced yellow onion

1 medium clove garlic, peeled and finely minced

1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

For masa (corn dough):

3 cups masa harina de maiz (corn masa mix)

2 cups water

Directions

Soak beans overnight in small bowl with water to cover, plus 3 inches. Drain and place beans in medium saucepan with onion, garlic and water to cover, plus 1 inch. Simmer beans until quite soft, about 1 hour. Puree cooked beans with 1/4 cup cooking liquid and salt in food processor or blender until smooth. Heat olive oil in medium skillet over medium-low heat and cook red bean puree, stirring occasionally until it thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Combine corn masa mix and water and mix well. (Consistency should be that of chocolate-chip cookie dough.) Shape into patties 1/8 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter, then cover with damp cloth.

To assemble, spoon about 1/2 tablespoon each of beans and Monterey Jack cheese into center of a patty. Top with another patty and press edges of patties together to seal. No filling should be exposed.

Cook pupusas on dry nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, turning once until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. If using a regular griddle or skillet, brown pupusas in a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Serve at once with tomato salsa. Makes about 14 pupusas.

Pupusas are great, I'm actually eating one now! They are traditionally served with a spicy shreded cabbage and carrot salsa that is kind of like a hot tomato-y coleslaw. Thanks for the recipe, I may make my own now.
