Bean and Cheese Pupusas with Curtido

El Salvador's beloved stuffed corn cakes: soft masa dough wrapped around homemade refried black beans and melty cheese, patted into rounds and griddled until golden and speckled. They're served with curtido, a tangy, oregano-spiked cabbage slaw that cuts through the richness. Naturally gluten-free.
