Quesadillas with Purslane

The day before yesterday I bought purslane and didn’t use it right away. The thing is, purslane doesn’t last long and it was starting to go bad! I removed all the bad parts (which went to the building’s compost) and made these quesadillas I tried a long time ago in Hidalgo—they’re really delicious.
