  • In nonstick skillet, sauté chicken in oil over low heat until it turns white. Stir chicken constantly to keep it from sticking.
  • Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and tomato. Cook chicken mixture through. Remove skillet from stove and let mixture cool in refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, place flour and salt in large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to make stiff, tortilla-like dough.
  • When chicken mixture has cooled, mix in cheese.
  • Divide dough into 24 portions. With your hands, roll dough into balls and flatten each into 1/2-inch 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 1/2-inch thick.
  • In very hot iron skillet, cook pupusas on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.
