Using your hands, mix the corn flour, wheat flour, vegetable oil, baking powder, salt, and water in a bowl until you have a homogeneous consistency. If the dough is a little dry, just add more water gradually. Cover with non-stick plastic wrap and set aside. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the onion until it is shiny. Next, add the tomato and pepper, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes or until the tomato reduces a bit and releases all its juice. When this happens, add the Bionda® Ricotta and cook for 7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and epazote. Set aside. Place a plastic bag in a tortilla press so the quesadillas don't stick, then form a ball of dough about 5 to 6 cm, place it in the press, and flatten it as if you were making a tortilla, but not too thin. Next, add a tablespoon of the Bionda® Ricotta filling and close it, forming the quesadilla, but make sure to seal the edge very well so that the filling doesn't leak out. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C and place two to three quesadillas inside so as not to lower the temperature, and don't forget to spray with cooking spray. Flip constantly and cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the air fryer. Set aside. Serve the fried quesadillas with Mexican ricotta on a large plate, decorate with lettuce, cream, shredded cheese, and accompany with red sauce.
