What food isn't made not only edible but also delicious by adding some cheese, deep-frying it, cooking it with a whole lot of heavy cream or creaming it with butter? Nothing. These recipes are the most common and most delicious uses of huitlacoche. Today, we will start with the cheesy - quesadillas. Enjoy! - if you dare.
Huitlacoche Quesadillas
Ingredients
12 corn tortillas
2 cup melting cheese (like queso asadero or monterrey jack)
1 small onion, chopped
1 chile poblano, chopped
1 cup huitlacoche, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
frying oil
Directions
1 - Heat some oil in a saute pan over low heat. Add the onion and chile, and cook for 5 minutes.
2 - Add the huitlacoche. Saute on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Set aside.
3 - In a separate saute pan, add some oil, and heat over a medium flame.
4 - Put a tortilla in the hot oil. After 15 seconds, flip the tortilla over.
5 - Add a scoop of cheese and a scoop of the huitlacoche mixture to one side of the tortilla. Fold the empty side over the filling.
6 - When the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted, remove the quesadilla to drain on a paper towel.
