Pupusas

We have tortillas at pretty much every meal.  They are made by hand daily.

Pupusas are basically a stuffed corn tortilla.  

I tried getting the whole process in pictures, but my camera battery died before that happened.  

Basically you have maseca mixed with water.

 And quesillo, which is cheese that is kind of like mozzarella, but it doesn't have the stringiness that mozzarella does.

You take a small handful of maseca and pat it flat, take some quesillo, maybe a tablespoonish, and put that in the middle, fold your maseca up around the quesillo and then make it like you would make a tortilla.  It's ok if the cheese doesn't all stay in the middle.

Then you throw it on the stove.  Now, my griddle does not get hot enough to make these well.  It would do the job, but they wouldn't be as tasty as Abuelas.

We ate these with a salsa made up of tomato, cucumber, a little onion, salt and lemon juice, and a sauce that was watered down tomato paste (tomato sauce would work well, but we don't have that here) and some finely diced onions (the sauce was cooked)
