Instructions

1
Make curtido: Toss cabbage, carrot, vinegar, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Let sit at least 30 minutes (better overnight).
2
Mix masa harina, warm water, and salt into a smooth dough. It should be moist but not sticky — adjust water as needed.
3
Divide into 8 balls. Flatten each into a thick disc, place 1 tbsp beans and 1 tbsp cheese in the center.
4
Fold the dough edges up and over the filling, seal, and flatten into a 4-inch disc about 1/2 inch thick. The filling should be completely enclosed.
5
Cook on an ungreased griddle or comal over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and cheese starts to melt out slightly at the edges.
6
The pupusa is done when it's puffed slightly and the surface has a light crunch.
7
Serve hot with curtido piled on top and tomato salsa on the side.
