Delicious huitlacoche quesadillas super easy to prepare that you will end up loving for their delicious flavor. Huitlacoche, or cuitlacoche, is an edible fungus found on corn. Currently, it is a sophisticated ingredient used in Mexican cuisine, and although in other countries it is still considered a pest, in Mexico it is consumed in many ways, especially accompanied by tortillas, like these delicious huitlacoche quesadillas with quesillo.

Low

Start by preparing the filling. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-sized skillet. Add half of the onion and the garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the huitlacoche and cook for 5 minutes or until well cooked. Season with salt and pepper and pour into a deep plate. With a tortilla press, make tortillas with the tortilla dough. Fill the tortillas with a bit of Oaxaca cheese and the huitlacoche filling. Seal the quesadilla well with your fingers. Cook the quesadillas either on a griddle (if you want them without fat) or in oil if you prefer them fried.
