Let your senses enter into the world of Mexican flavors with these scrumptious huitlacoche quesadillas. This classic Mexican dish is a culinary treat that now you can prepare at home. This woodsy and utterly delicious recipe is only possible thanks to ingredients like garlic, epazote, lard, salt, Oaxaca cheese, and huitlacoche, also known as Mexican truffle. It’s outrageously good!
