Huitlacoche Quesadillas
Report
You can serve these on corn or flour tortillas. Corn would be more traditional, but you would want to use good ones. Here's how to make corn tortillas at home.
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons lard or oil
- 1 cup onion white, chopped
- 1 pound huitlacoche
- 2 Anaheim pepper roasted, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped, or poblano or chilaca chiles
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon epazote or cilantro; minced
- salt
- 1/2 pound mozzarella cheese shredded, or Oaxaca or other melty cheese
- 12 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the lard in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for a few minutes, then add the huitlacoche and roasted, chopped green chiles. Sauté this for a good 5 to 7 minutes, then add the garlic. Drop the heat to a simmer and let it cook gently.
- At this point, heat up all your corn tortillas on a flattop, griddle or comal, keeping them warm in a tortillero or in a cloth.
- Mix the epazote or cilantro into the huitlacoche and add salt to taste.
- Put some shredded cheese in a tortilla, fold it over and heat it on the comal until the cheese starts to melt. Open them, add some of the huitlacoche mixture, then re-close and flatten them on the comal. When the cheese starts to brown a little, flip and cook the other side. Repeat with the other quesadillas.
- If you want, you can set a rack over a baking sheet and put that in the oven. Set the oven to "warm" to keep them all hot while you make the rest.
Notes
- You can use frozen or canned green chiles if you want.
