  • For the salsa: Blend the tomato puree, annatto, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook the onion until transparent, then add the garlic until lightly browned, then add the parsley, tomato, fish, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 10 more minutes, then add the salsa, oregano, epazote, and olives. Let cook for another 15 minutes or until the fish is cooked, adjust seasoning. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Make tortillas using a press, place a tablespoon of filling in the center, and seal them well around the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out while frying. Set aside.
  • Pour enough oil into a skillet and when hot, fry the quesadillas, being very careful, until golden brown.
  • Serve the Veracruz-style quesadillas on a large plate and garnish with tomato, cabbage, and cheese. Accompany with mayonnaise and salsa to taste.
