I only wish I had made these sooner. I was a little afraid to though
because many of the recipes I saw or information about them claimed that they were complicated and difficult to make but worth the trouble. What trouble? There was none! They were by far one of the easiest things that I have ever made. Thanks, sf for the video because that is not how the technique read to me. I kept reading that it was two tortillas with a filling. Nope, although based on the end result I could see how someone who didn't examine it very well might see this. I made some with just cheese for husband and daughter. Both loved them! But I was afraid they would not so cooked some rice as a backup. That came out better than usual as well, I used some salsa from Target. It was restaurant style but had very few chunks in it. I think it was their brand. I also made some standard coleslaw for the side. And I served some canned sauce to dip in. Red sauce and I think the brand was Pato. I bought all that they had at QFC. It was on clearance for 49 cents. It's a tad spicy but not too much so. Mine have just beans in the filling. I probably should have put a tad less beans as they did leak out at bit. They are not as pretty as the cheese ones were but since I am the one eating them, I don't care so much if I can see a little bit of beans on the outside. So... Very, very cheap meal and quick to fix! Oh and... I read somewhere online by the daughter of a Pupusaria owner to add a Tablespoon of baking powder to the dough to keep it moist and keep it from cracking. I did do that. I did not let the first dough rest because husband came blasting through the door wanting food right away. I had just set the timer to 20 minutes for the rice and wound up taking it off the burner at 18 minutes because it was perfect then and the pupusas were done. I made a new batch of dough for mine. Half batch and let it rest but... The resting made the dough really expand. I wound up having too much of it and from what I have read, they don't keep overnight very well. I know they must keep for a few hours at least because the taqueria here that serves them said they are made up ahead of time. So... I would recommend adding the baking powder and letting the dough rest before using. I did not roll in balls and let rest. I just covered the bowl and let rest. Soooo very good! |
