QUESADILLAS CERNIDAS
ORIGINAL 1831 RECIPE (From Cocinero Mejicano)
Put your corn to cook with water, being washed and let it dry. Grind it and sift. Mix with the dough a little melted lard, salt, and little of the settled tequesquite so the dough is workable. Sprinkle with flour and form into a wheel, well flattened in the way you like, and put in the middle a little aged cheese, or fresh, according to the preference of each one. Fold over the edges so they stick. At this point put them into very hot lard, bathing continuously each so they puff up. Take them out and drain them and eat them fresh.
MODERN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 Cups (180g) Masa Harina
- 1 Cup (250ml) Warm Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons of lard plus more for frying (or any oil of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Tequesquite water (Using a tablespoon of tequesquite and 4oz boiling water)
- 4oz (115g) cheese
METHOD
1. Mix the salt, masa harina, and water together to form a dough. Add in the 2 tablespoons of lard (or oil) and tequesquite water making sure to not get any large pieces of rock.
2. Shape the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball and press into tortillas either by hand, with a rolling pin, or with a tortilla press.
3. Place a sprinkling of cheese in the center of the tortilla then fold over and press down to seal in the cheese, forming a quesadilla.
4. Heat lard or oil in a pan about a half inch deep over medium high heat. Place the quesadilla into hot lard or oil. After about 1 minute, flip the quesadilla over to cook the other size. Once the quesadilla has browned and puffed up a bit, remove from the oil and set on a paper towel to drain. Then eat.
