- ½ white onion medium
- 1 clove garlic
- 12 ounces huitlacoche fresh
- 4 leaves epazote fresh
- 1 tsp. salt
Instructions
Preparing the Filling
- Chop the onion, tomatoes, and garlic.
- Cook the onions, tomatoes, and garlic in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat stirring frequently for 5 minutes.
- When the tomatoes have changed color and started to lose their shape they are ready. Set them aside.
- In the same pot where you cooked the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cook the huitlacoche over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Add the reserved mixture of tomatoes, onion, and garlic and stir well.
- Season with epazote and salt and cook for 2 more minutes.
Assembling the Quesadillas
- Start by putting about ¾ ounce of cheese on a corn tortilla.
- Then put 2 tbsps. of filling on the tortilla.
- Then add another ¾ ounces of cheese and top with another tortilla.
- Preheat your pan or comal to medium-hot. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook until the tortilla just starts to turn golden then flip once.
- Check to see that the cheese is fully melted before serving.
Serving
- Serve 2 quesadillas per person. Slice the quesadillas in half and serve with your favorite salsa for dipping.
Notes
- Substitutions
- Storage
- You can substitute canned huitlacoche of you are unable to find it free. Omit the step where you cook the huitlacoche because it is pre-cooked.
- If you can't get a Mexican melting cheese, mozzarella is an acceptable substitute.
- Substitute 2 sprigs of dried epazote for the fresh epazote.
- Quesadillas don't store well at all. They should be eaten immediately.
- Left-over filling can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
