A Variation on Pupusas

I've written before about this favorite food of mine from Honduras, the pupusa, but what I didn't include was the pupusa with meat.  It becomes a heartier entree especially when paired with beans and rice.

Lightly grease the griddle with oil and lay corn tortillas down covering them with cheese.  Top the cheese with meat and cover with a second tortilla.  Cook until lightly browned on both sides.  Cool slightly and enjoy!

Meat filling
Boil 2-3 chicken breasts (about 1 lb.) and shred.
Add 1/4 C taco seasoning mix and 1/2 C water.  Mix well. 

The chicken could be substituted with ground beef or ground turkey or even pork.

Pupusas make a great summer lunch for those home from school especially when served with fresh summer fruits.  They are best made fresh as cheese can be frozen but often crumbles upon defrosting.  That is okay for this recipe or others calling for shredded cheese.
