Spinach Pupusas

If you haven't heard of pupusas then you haven't lived life because these are so delicious! It's a real simple recipe and it's a lot of fun to do, especially with kids. 


This recipe will be good enough for up to five people.


Ingredients
4 cups of masa
3 tablespoons of butter
water
salt
Spinach
Mozzarella Cheese 


1, Grab all your ingredients! Chop up the spinach and shred your choice of cheese. The pupusas will taste great with quesillo, queso fresco, farmer's cheese, mozorella or any type of soft cheese. 

2.  Now it's hard to say how much water to add but you want to add enough so that it won't break apart. Don't add so much that it'll be soggy. I suggest to add water little by little. Even if you do add too much water you can always add more masa, so no worries! 

3. Next add 3 tablespoons of butter to make the masa more soft

4. The end result should look like this. It only takes about 5 minutes to completely mix all the ingredients by hand. 

5. Grab a handful of the masa, roll it into a ball and then start flattening it out. 

6. Next is the fun part. You get to add whatever ingredients you like! I personally chose spinach and cheese. You can add chicken, cilantro, sausage, jalapeno, beans, loroco or anything you love. 

7. Fold in the outer edges of the pupusa, so that you cover the filling. You want to form it into a ball, then flatten it as much as possible. 

8. Oil your griddle and cook the pupusas on each side until it's lightly browned. 

9. Then it's time to eat! Typically a pupusa is eaten with curtido but it's just as great with salsa!
