The Mexicans Got It All Wrong...

No, it is not tortillas and cheese. At least in El Salvador it isn't!

This. THIS is our quesadilla. A soft, warm, sweet, crunchy, cornbread-like treat! Oh so good for breakfast with Coffee (tea for me please), or as dessert, snack, whatever! Any excuse you get to eat it, do :)

WARNING!!! There are Salvadoran Quesadillas that you will find in mexican markets, or even in Ralphs, but they are dry and tasteless! I'm sorry if you have had those and have been turned off to this flavorful cake. Please try this... you'll get hooked.

Salvadoran Quesadilla:

Your ingredients. If you can find Rice Flour, use that instead of regular flour. Taste is better.

The Crema and Cotijo in the middle of the picture you can pick up at a mexian market, ValuePlus, Bestway, or any other place like that. Just make sure you get the Salvadoran Crema and not the Mexican one... the Mexican one is disgusting... but I'm bias :)

Eggs- 6

Sugar- 1 1/2 cups

Cotijo, grated- 2 cups

Salvadoran Crema- 1/2 cup

Flour- 2 cups

Baking Soda- 1 tsp

Whole Milk- 1 cup

Butter, melted- 1/2 cup (1 stick)

Sesame seeds- as many as you want

Mix eggs and sugar thoroughly

Add Queso Cotijo and beat about 10 times.

Add Crema and beat another 10 times.

In a separate bowl mix the flour and baking soda

Add half the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Alternating with Milk.

Half flour, half milk, half flour, half milk.

Mix in melted butter.

Grease a 9x13" pan and pour in the mixture.

Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds. My family likes a lot! The crunchy texture is wonderful :)

Bake for 30mins.

Until it's this color *drools*

Oh how I wish you could smell this right now!

This is what it's all about. Moist, sweet, slightly crunchy, quesadilla.
