Chicken Pupusas Recipe
Chicken pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish that consists of thick corn tortillas stuffed with a savory chicken filling. These delicious pupusas are perfect for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 30 minutesIngredients:
- 2 cups masa harina (corn flour)
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Pupusas
- In a large bowl, mix the masa harina with the warm water until a soft dough forms. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the shredded chicken, refried beans, mozzarella cheese, cilantro, onion, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Divide the masa dough into golf ball-sized portions and flatten them into discs with your hands.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each disc and fold the dough over to enclose the filling, forming a ball. Flatten the ball into a thick tortilla shape.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Cook the pupusas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken pupusas hot with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa on the side.
