INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 ½ onion, chopped
    • 🧄 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
    • 5 fresh epazote leaves
    • 1 pound fresh corn truffles (huitlacoche)

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 1 pound Oaxaca cheese, separated into strings

  • Condiments & Oils

    • 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
    • 🧂 sea salt to taste

  • Grains

    • 10 (6 inch) yellow corn tortillas

STEPS

1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion, garlic, jalapeño pepper, and epazote and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

2

Stir corn truffles into onion mixture; cook and stir until truffle liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep warm.

3

Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. Moisten both sides of two tortillas with water and place them, stacked together, onto the hot griddle; cook until bottom tortilla is crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip stacked tortillas and cook other tortilla until crisp, about 2 minutes.

4

Separate two tortillas; place them separately, uncooked-side down, onto the hot griddle. Cover crisp side of one tortilla with 1/5 of the Oaxaca cheese; place 1/5 of corn truffle mixture over cheese, then lay crisp side of second tortilla on top to cover truffle mix.

5

Cook, turning once, until both tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes; repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and corn truffle mixture.

6

Cut each quesadilla into four wedges to serve.
