This is my grandmother's recipe. She didn't use cheese in her quesadillas, but I added ricotta to meet the #DelantalCookpad2025 challenge.

    Preheat a griddle (comal) over medium-high heat. Press the tortillas using a tortilla press and cook them on the griddle. Add the huitlacoche mixture and ricotta cheese, fold the tortillas, and cook on both sides, flipping every minute, until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.

  8. 8

    Tip: If you can't find masa for tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas. Warm them to soften, then add the fillings, fold, and cook on both sides until golden and crispy. If you can't find huitlacoche, you can use your preferred mushrooms. Enjoy.
