Directions:
- Mix the masa harina, water and salt adding enough water to get a play dough like consistency. (The dough should not break up and crack a lot along the edges when you form it into a ball and flatten it.)
- Form into 8 2 inch balls, flatten the balls, top with the cheese filling, fold the edges up forming a ball and flatten it into a pancake.
- Heat a lightly oiled heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat, add the pupusas and cook until lightly charred, golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-4 minutes per side.
