Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or canned huitlacoche (corn smut)
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Roast Poblano Peppers:

    • Preheat the oven broiler.
    • Place poblano peppers on a baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
    • Transfer the peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes.
    • Peel off the skin, remove seeds, and dice the roasted poblano peppers.
  2. Prepare Huitlacoche:

    • If using fresh huitlacoche, sauté it in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until cooked. If using canned huitlacoche, drain it before using.
  3. Assemble Quesadillas:

    • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil.
    • Place tortillas, oil side down, on the skillet.
    • On one half of each tortilla, layer huitlacoche, roasted corn, diced poblano peppers, and shredded cheese.
    • Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve:

    • Cut the quesadillas into wedges.
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
    • Serve with lime wedges on the side.
