2 cups fresh huitlacoche

2 tablespoons cooking oil

1/2 cup diced onions

2 cups finely ground masa harina

1 1/4 cup cold water

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups queso blanco

  4. Place a small ball of dough between two pieces of waxed paper and press or roll into a small tortilla.
  5. Folding the raw dough, make a pocket, and fill with a tablespoon each of Sauteed huitlacoche and queso blanco. Seal the edge. Cook on grill for 5 minutes until golden brown.
