Cuitlacoche Quesadilla

Ingredients

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Serrano pepper

1, finely chopped

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

White onion

1/2, finely chopped

Corn tortillas

8

Queso fresco

1 cup, crumbled

Cuitlacoche

2 cups, cleaned and chopped

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and Serrano pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the chopped cuitlacoche and season with salt. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cuitlacoche to heat through.
3. In a separate pan, lightly oil and heat the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side, just until they are warm and pliable.
4. On one half of each tortilla, place a generous amount of the cuitlacoche mixture followed by a sprinkle of crumbled queso fresco. Fold the tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
5. Return the quesadillas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish. Enjoy your Cuitlacoche Quesadillas with a side of salsa or guacamole for added flavor!
