{{RecipeIngredients
| 2 cups of [[grated]] [[cheese]] (use a mixture of [[cheeses]]; [[Cheddar]], [[Mozzarella]] and [[ricotta]])
| 3 tablespoons of [[double cream]]
| ½ a cup of chopped [[spring onions]]
| [[Sea salt]] to taste
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| [[Corn tortilla recipe|Make the pupusa dough as shown here (it's the same as tortilla dough)]], but don't cook them yet
| Mix all of the ingredients together to make a soft paste
| Divide the mixture into balls, slightly larger than golf-balls and place each ball in the centre of the tortilla and press the mixture out, leaving a gap around the edge
| Cover with another tortilla and press together to seal
| Heat a griddle pan or heavy frying pan and wipe over with a lightly oiled kitchen towel
| Cook each pupusa until it is nicely [[toasted]]. This will take about 4 minutes a side
| Keep warm while you cook the remaining pupusas
}}
===Serving suggestions===

Serve with [[curtido]]
===Variations===

Make the pupusas with a combination of this, [[refried beans]] and the filling for [[Pupusa de Chicharron|Pupusa de Chicharrón]] (bacon, tomaotes and green peppers)
