Healthy Pupusas Recipe

1 lb. chicken breast, ground
1 Tablespoon lite vegetable oil
1/2 lb. lowfat mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium green pepper, seeded, minced
1 small tomato, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups instant corn flour (masa harina)
6 cups water
    Sauté chicken in oil over low heat until it turns white. Stir chicken constantly to keep it from sticking.. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and tomato. Cook chicken mixture completely. Cool in refrigerator. When chicken mixture has cooled, mix in cheese
    Place flour in large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to make stiff, tortilla-like dough..  Divide dough into 24 portions. Roll dough into balls and flatten each into 1/2–inch thick circle. Put spoonful of chicken mixture in middle of each circle of dough and bring edges to center. Flatten ball of dough again until it is 1/2–inch thick.
    In very hot iron pan, cook pupusas on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.

  1. I AM WRITING THIS COMMENT. BECAUSE THIS IS TRADITIONAL IN MY COUNTRY. THERE ARE DIFERENT SIZES AND FLAVORS. TODAY YOU CAN FIND IT AT ANY LATIN RESTAURANT AND ITS VERY POPULAR. YOU CAN PUT CARROTS AND CABBAGE ON THE SIDE. IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN MY MOM MADE PUPUSA IN MY COUNTRY TO SELL.
