Fried corn tacos stuffed with stringy melted cheese and roast salad onions
During some quesadilla chat with my friend Karla Zazueta, we got on to the subject of cheese. Your choice of cheese is crucial, said Karla, who always opts for one with a long, stringy texture. One option is Anatolia cheese – a Turkish variety similar to quesillo, a cheese from Mexico’s Oaxaca region; you can find it in Turkish shops. Alternatively, a combination of hard mozzarella (a block or ready-grated) mixed with cheddar also gets delicious results. More importantly, we agreed that there is nothing better than standing at the hob and eating a quesadilla fresh from the pan.
