Mix masa harina, salt and cumin. Add water to make a dough which is soft but not sticky. Take about half a cup of dough and roll it into a ball, flatten with your hand.

Filling:

Mix cheese, cilantro, salt and pepper to make a filling.

Put the filling in the center. Fold the edges so that the pupusa covers all the filling and make a ball of it. Flatten the ball to about ¼ inches. Griddle the pan with oil and heat it. Now lightly brown the pupusa from each side. Serve hot.
