QUESADILLA AUTHENTIC RECIPE | TASTEATLAS
Adapted from mexican-authentic-recipes.com, this recipe offers a simple approach to making quesadillas. The first step is to prepare the tortillas — which are, in this case, made with corn flour, salt, and water. White, yellow, and blue corn flour can be used, depending on the preferred color of the tortillas. The tortillas are then filled with Mexican cheese such as Chihuahua, Oaxaca or Manchego. Finally, the quesadillas are cooked in a comal and served hot with some sauce or salsa.

Steps:
- Begin by making the tortillas. Sift the corn flour into a large bowl, add salt, and mix lightly. Gradually add water, working the dough with your hands. You may not need to use all the water. The dough should be moderately firm and elastic. Cover the dough with an elastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into smaller pieces and roll each one into the shape and size of a golf ball. Each piece should weigh about 35 grams (1.2 oz).
- Put a piece of plastic wrap on the bottom plate of a tortilla press. Put the ball of dough on top, and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Press until thin – ideally, the tortilla should be around 2 mm (1/8-inch) thick and measure 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough. If you do not own a tortilla press, roll out the tortillas using a rolling pin.
- Now, cook the tortillas. Heat a comal or a shallow cast iron pan over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. The tortillas are usually cooked without oil, but some oil may be sprinkled on the comal, so they don’t stick. Cook the tortilla for about 50 seconds on one side, until small bubbles start to appear. Turn the tortilla over, and cook for another 50 seconds, until you start seeing small bubbles again. Finally, turn the tortilla over once more, and cook for an additional 20 seconds. The tortilla should now inflate like a balloon.
- Transfer the cooked tortilla into a tortillero, a handwoven tortilla basket (still, a plastic container will also do), so it remains warm and soft, and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Grate the cheese or cut it into thin strips. If the tortillas have cooled down, reheat them on a comal or a shallow pan for 20 seconds, so they soften.
- Sprinkle the cheese generously on each tortilla, fold in half, and heat on a comal for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, until the cheese melts. Press gently during cooking.
- Serve the quesadillas with the sauce of your choice – red salsa, green salsa or cream, and add condiments to your liking.
