Step outside your comfort zone and try something exciting for dinner this weekend! If you can’t find corn flour easily in your grocery store, look for masa harina or, in a pinch, you can make your own by pulsing regular corn meal in your food processor until it’s a fine powder. Serve with a little hot sauce or red salsa on the side and enjoy these piping hot.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground chicken breast
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, minced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- ½ tsp. salt
- 5 cups corn flour
- 6 cups water
- ½ lb. low-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
Directions
- In nonstick skillet, sauté chicken in oil over low heat until it’s cooked through, stirring constantly (10-12 minutes).
- Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and tomato. Cook until vegetables are softened (5-6 minutes). Remove mixture from skillet and cool in the fridge (30 minutes).
- While chicken cools, place salt and flour in large mixing bowl. Stir in enough water to make stiff, tortilla-like dough.
- When chicken mixture has cooled, stir in cheese.
- Divide dough into 24 portions. Roll dough into balls and flatten each into ½” thick circle. Put spoonful of chicken mixture in middle of each circle of dough and bring edges to center. Flatten ball of dough again until it is ½” thick.
- Spray a heavy-bottomed skillet with cooking spray and heat on high. Cook pupusas on each side until golden brown (2-3 minutes). Serve hot.
