1. 1

   In a bowl, mix masa harina, water, and salt to form a soft, pliable dough. Let rest briefly if needed.

2. 2

   Divide the dough into small balls.

3. 3

   Flatten each ball into a thick disc and place desired filling (cheese, beans, chicharrón, or other fillings) in the center.

4. 4

   Carefully fold the dough around the filling to enclose it completely, then gently flatten into a thick tortilla.

5. 5

   Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat.

6. 6

   Cook each pupusa for several minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Serve warm, traditionally with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and tomato sauce, eaten by hand.
