Total time: 35 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
* 2 cups masa harina
* 1 1/4 cups warm water
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese (or mozzarella)
* 1 cup cooked fillings (chorizo, mushrooms, chicken, or beans)
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
* 1/2 cup salsa, for serving
* 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
* Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix masa harina, warm water, and salt until a soft dough forms. Let rest for 5 minutes.
2. Divide dough into 4 portions and roll each into a large oval (about 10–12 inches long) between parchment paper.
3. Add cheese and your chosen filling to one half of each oval.
4. Fold the dough over to form a long, machete-like shape and press edges firmly to seal.
5. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
6. Cook each quesadilla for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing.
8. Serve hot with salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges.
Pro Tip:
Keep your hands slightly damp when working with masa dough—it prevents sticking and helps you shape those long, perfect machetes!
