Ingredients

Salsa

1 cup (for serving)

Cilantro

1/2 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper

to taste

Oaxaca cheese

2 cups, shredded

Corn tortillas

8

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Huitlacoche

1 can (15 ounces), drained

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them until they become translucent and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the drained huitlacoche and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Season this mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
4. In a separate skillet, place a corn tortilla and evenly sprinkle a generous handful of Oaxaca cheese over it.
5. Dollop a spoonful of the huitlacoche mixture over the cheese, then top it with another tortilla, pressing down gently to make a sandwich.
6. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and gooey.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
8. Cut the cooked quesadillas into wedges and serve them hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
9. Accompany the quesadillas with a bowl of fresh salsa for dipping.
