Category: Main Dishes

1 pound ground chicken breast
1 tbls vegetable oil
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 clove of garlic minced
1 medium green pepper seeded and minced
1 small tomato finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
5 cups instant corn flour (masa)
6 cups water

In a nonstick skillet over low heat saute chicken in oil until chicken turns white. Constantly stir the chicken to keep it from sticking.

Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and tomato. Cook until chicken mixture is cooked through. Remove from stove and let mixture cool in the refrigerator. While mixture is cooling, place the flour in a large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to make a stiff tortilla like dough.

When chicken mixture has cooled mix in the cheese.

Divide dough into 24 protions. Roll portions into balls and flatten each ball into 1/2" thick circle. Put a spoonfull of chicken mixture into the middle of each circle of dough and bring the edges together creating a ball with mixture in the center. Flatten ball again until 1/2" thick. In a very hot skillet, cook pupusas on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.
