For the dough, in a bowl mix the corn flour, wheat flour, vegetable oil, REXAL® baking powder, salt, and water. For the filling, in a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil, sauté the onion, and garlic, add the strips of poblano chili, the yellow corn kernels, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool. Place small balls of dough on the press and make tortillas, fill with the rajas and the asadero cheese, and using your fingers, close them like quesadillas, pressing the edges to prevent them from opening. Fry in a pot with hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels, serve with cream, lettuce, and salsa.
