In a deep bowl, combine the corn flour, salt, and water. Knead until you feel a smooth and soft texture. Cut two pieces of plastic to cover the inside of the tortilla press, place a ball of dough weighing about 50 grams, and flatten it to make it thin. Fill each quesadilla with a bit of Oaxaca cheese. Fold the quesadilla over the cheese and press the edges together well. In a skillet, heat the oil for frying for 5 minutes over high heat. Fry each quesadilla until golden brown and remove from the oil. Dry with paper towels to remove excess grease.
