Mixed Mushroom-and-Cheese Quesadillas
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red jalapeno or Fresno chile, minced
- 12 ounces mixed oyster and white mushrooms, trimmed and very coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped epazote or 1 teaspoon chopped oregano
- Six 8-inch Corn Tortillas or 12 fresh corn tortillas
- 9 ounces Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (3 cups)
- Salt
- In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering.
- Add the onion, garlic and chile and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until just softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the epazote.
- Season with salt.
- Heat a large cast-iron griddle over moderately high heat.
- Add 3 tortillas to the griddle and top each one with 1/2 cup of the cheese and 1/3 cup of the mushrooms.
- Cook until the cheese just starts to melt, about 2 minutes.
- Using a spatula, fold the tortillas in half, pressing lightly to form quesadillas.
- Cook, flipping once, until the tortillas are browned in spots and the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Transfer to a work surface.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese and mushrooms.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve.
