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.

CHICKEN AND HUITLACOCHE STUFFED CHILES
This dish teams huitlacoche with poblano chiles, which fill the markets during the summer months and gradually go from dark green to red as the season progresses. By September, the majority have turned color and are significantly hotter. If a poblano makes your eyes water as you clean it, that's a sure indication that it might be hot enough to overwhelm the taste of the filling, in which case it should be soaked and rinsed after the seeds are removed. Both salt and vinegar draw heat, so use either salt water or a vinegar solution to soak the chiles. One to two hours is usually long enough, after which time they should be rinsed thoroughly and blotted dry before filling.

Steps:
- Rinse the poblanos very well, pat them dry and set them aside while the filling is prepared.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic until transparent, add the chicken, epazote and huitlacoche and cook until the juice from the huitlacoche has evaporated.
- Stuff the chiles and place them in a buttered baking dish.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter, add the flour and cumin and cook until golden.
- Whisk in the milk gradually, over medium heat, making a white sauce.
- Remove from heat, stir in the cream, and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the sauce over the chiles, top with the shredded cheese and bake, uncovered, at 350º until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

- In a medium frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Separately, finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Add the onion to the pan and lightly sauté for 2 minutes, or until the onion becomes transparent. Add the garlic and continue cooking for one minute.
- Next, add the Huitlacoche and epazote to the frying pan. As you continue to cook, the Huitlacoche will release a bit of liquid, so stir lightly. Continue sautéing for about 5 more minutes, after which the ingredients will be done. Do not overcook them, otherwise they will become dry.
- Place a portion of about 2 tablespoons of the sautéed ingredients in each tortilla, and serve the tacos alongside a good raw serrano salsa.
