This different dish from south of the border is a great taste treat.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 large tbsp roasted garlic puree

1 smoked jalapeno, seeded & minced

1 large diced tomato

1 ½ pounds huitlacoche

2 tbsp chopped cilantro

1 - 2 cups white cheddar cheese

salt and pepper, to taste

flour tortillas

optional garnish

hickory smoked tomato salsa

hickory smoked jalapeno cream

fresh cilantro

lime wedges

Method:

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add the jalapenos, tomato & roasted garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add the huitlacoche, cover the skillet and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro & season with salt and pepper and cook for another few minutes.

For quesadillas, place some of the filling on one half of a flour tortilla. Sprinkle over some of the white cheddar. Fold over and saute in a small amount of olive oil or bake in a 350 F for 10-20 minutes or until the filling is warmed & cheese is melted.

Serve with the optional hickory smoked tomato salsa, jalapeno sour cream, cilantro & lime wedges.
