If you’ve traveled to Mexico, you’ll notice that yellow cheese (American cheese) isn’t actually used. The popular quesadilla is traditionally made with queso Oaxaca. This white, semihard cheese is made from cows milk and similar texture to string cheese… but better! Maybe I’m biased.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2tbs butter

  • Sliced baby bell mushrooms

  • Oaxaca cheese

  • Salt and pepper

  • Flour tortillas

HOW TO:

  • Melt 1tbs of butter into a non-stick pan and sautée sliced mushrooms for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently

  • Remove mushrooms from heat

  • In the same pan, add the last tbs of butter and let it melt

  • Add tortillas, mushrooms and queso Oaxaca on one tortilla then stack

  • Lower heat and cover your pan. Let cheese melt for about 5 more minutes or to your liking
