Makes 10 servings
The Pupusas
12 oz. masa harina
¾ t. kosher salt
12 fl. oz. warm water
3 oz. cut leaf spinach
2 oz. queso fresco, crumbled
4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
The Toppings
8 each avocado halves
20 oz. blend of flame-roasted corn and black beans (such as Simplot Flame-Roasted Corn and Black Bean Fiesta Blend)
10 oz. queso fresco, crumbled
5 oz. sour cream, thinned with small amount of water
10 lime wedges
Preparation Instructions:
Thaw avocado halves according to package instructions. Cut each avocado half into slices, about 6 slices per half. In a large bowl, combine masa, salt and water. Mix until well incorporated. Add in spinach, queso fresco and mozzarella cheese. Mix until well incorporated. Rest for 5 minutes. Stir mixture again. The batter should have a very thick consistency. More water may be needed. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Drop ¼-cup scoops into pan making separate cakes. Light pressure may be needed to gently flatten mixture. Cook about 2 minutes on each side. Reserve warm.
Prepare black bean and corn blend according to package instructions. Reserve warm.
To Serve: Place 2 pupusas per plate. Top with 2 oz. Fiesta blend, 2 oz. sliced avocado and 1 oz. queso fresco. Drizzle with 1/2 oz. sour cream and garnish with lime wedge. Serve.
