Steps

1 hour

1

Mix the masa harina with the salt and warm water until you have a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2

Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/2 tablespoon of baking powder, then knead again. Once mixed, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and knead again.
3

Once the dough is ready, form a ball and flatten it. Add the filling, then fold and seal the edges well so the quesadilla doesn't open while frying.
4

Place the quesadilla in hot oil and fry until golden, flipping once. Repeat with as many as you like. Enjoy!
