Ingredients

Curtido

  • ½ head cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot
  • 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Pupusa Dough

  • 3 cups masa harina
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • cups cold water

Filling

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup pickled jalapeño peppers
  • ½ cup diced roasted butternut squash

For Hands

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the curtido by mixing cabbage, grated carrot, and oregano in a bowl. Combine hot water, vinegar, salt, and sugar, then pour over the mixture. Let it cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  2. In another bowl, whisk masa harina and salt. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into 14 balls.
  3. Prepare an oil and water mixture for your hands to prevent sticking.
  4. Flatten each dough ball into a disc, add filling (mozzarella, jalapeño, and squash) in the center, and seal the edges.
  5. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each pupusa for 4 to 6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve the pupusas warm with curtido and lime wedges.
