Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons lard or oil
- 1 cup chopped white onion
- 1 pound huitlacoche
- 2 Anaheim, poblano or chilaca chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced epazote or cilantro
- salt
- 1/2 pound mozzarella, Oaxaca or other melty cheese, shredded
- 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.
