Steps:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, and epazote and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir corn truffles into onion mixture; cook and stir until truffle liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and keep warm.
- Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat until hot. Moisten both sides of two tortillas with water and place them, stacked together, onto the hot griddle; cook until the bottom tortilla is crisp, about 2 minutes. Flip the stacked tortillas and cook the other tortilla until crisp, about 2 minutes. Separate the two tortillas; place them separately, uncooked side down, onto the hot griddle. Cover the crisp side of one tortilla with 1/5 of the Oaxaca cheese; place 1/5 of the corn truffle mixture over the cheese, then lay the crisp side of the second tortilla on top to cover the truffle mix.
- Cook, turning once, until both tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes; repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and corn truffle mixture. Cut each quesadilla into four wedges to serve.

HUITLACOCHE FILLING
Huitlacoche is a Mexican dish. North of the border, people consider "corn smut" (the invasive fungus that turns corn into this) as ruining the crop. I heard about it and thought "ew" but then I decided to try a huitlacoche quesadillas at a local cafe at Polk and Washington here in San Francisco. This instantly made me want to find my own way to cook it so it wouldn't be so expensive. This is a recipe for it. I will post more. You can find canned huitlacoche at any hispanic grocery. If you like mushrooms, you'll love this.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a frying pan.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry gently until translucent - about 3 minutes.
- Add the chile strips and fry for 1 minute more.
- Add the cuitlacoche and salt, cover the pan and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan from time to time for about 15 minutes. The fungus should be tender, retaining some moisture, but not soft and mushy.
- Stir in the epazote and cook, uncovered, for another 2 minutes.
- NOTE: If the cuitlacoche is rather dry, sprinkle on 1/4 cup water before covering; if it is too juicy, remove the lid before the end of the cooking time and reduce over higher heat.

- If using fresh huitlacoche, the package will instruct wether it needs to be rinsed or not. For the canned simply open and use, the canned huitlacoche comes ready to use. If using the jarred version only if it comes in brine then you can drain otherwise do read the instructions on the jar but you should just be able to use as desired. If you'd like you can remove any corn silk from any of the huitlacoche you use.
- Warm up a comal or a griddle or pan,until hot then turn the flame to medium-low. Then place a corn tortilla on it and allow to warm up for a minute, flip it over then on one half of the tortilla place the cheese. Spoon in some of the huitlacoche filling on top of the cheese, carefully fold the empty tortilla half over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Cook for a few minutes before flipping over and cooking a couple of more minutes -- all you want to achieve is melted cheese.
