Ingredients

1 cup apple cider vinegar 

1 tablespoon granulated sugar 

2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1 large jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced 

2 cups chopped green cabbage 

1 cup small cauliflower florets 

1/2 cup shredded carrot 

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion 

Nonstick cooking spray 

1/2 small acorn squash, halved, seeded and sliced 1/2-inch thick crosswise 

2 cups instant corn masa flour 

1/2 cup shredded Oaxaca cheese 

1 tablespoon vegetable oil 

1 cup Mexican hot style tomato sauce, warmed 

Preparation

  1. Line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. In medium saucepan, cook vinegar, sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 cups water over high heat 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally. In large heat-proof bowl, toss jalapeño, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot and onion; pour hot vinegar mixture over jalapeño mixture. Cool completely; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 4 days. Makes about 4 cups curtido.
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Line rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray. Spread squash in single layer on prepared pan; spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Roast squash 25 minutes or until golden brown, turning once; cool 10 minutes. Remove and discard skin from squash; transfer to medium bowl and mash with a fork. Makes about 3/4 cup.
  1. In large bowl, stir flour and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups water. With hands, knead dough until a smooth dough forms. With wet hands, form dough into 4 (3-inch) balls; flatten balls into 5-inch disks. Place 2 tablespoons cheese and 3 tablespoons mashed squash in center of each disk; bring sides of dough up over filling and pinch together to form a ball. Lightly pat balls into 5-inch disks (about 1/2-inch thick).
  1. In large skillet, in 2 batches, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; add pupusas and cook 6 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Makes 4 pupusas.
  1. Drain curtido. Serve pupusas topped with sauce and curtido.
