Combine the masa, water and salt in a bowl and stir to combine into a dough.
Divide the mixture into 6 balls and flatten each one into a 3 inch disk.
Place 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center of the disk and carefully fold in the edges to enclose the cheese.
Flatten the disk, covering the cheese and form into 1/4 inch thick disks (about 5-6 inches across).
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saute pan. Add 2-3 pupusas at a time and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for a total of 8-10 minutes.
Serve with slaw, guacamole, crema and/or salsa.
