Ingredients 5
Servings 4

Cheese pupusas have always been one of my favorite dishes since I was a child. When making pupusas, the cheese melts into the soft tortilla mix, and it transforms into a traditional dish from El Salvador and other Central American countries. The corn used to make the pupusas is nixtamalized, which gives it a particular flavor and texture. For this recipe, I mixed the cheese with grated zucchini to make a new variation of delicious pupusas.

Ingredients

1 zucchini
1/2 pound grated quesillo cheese
Salt
3 cups tortilla mix
