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.
