Ingredients:

• 1 dozen corn tortillas (or use fresh masa and make from scratch)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 5 ounces of saltierra potosino cheese, or Mexican-style cheese like Manchego
• 4 chiles chinos, or guajillo chiles
• salsa verde, as desired
• salt

Directions:
Cook the red chiles, grind and strain them, taking care not to add too much water. The sauce should be a bit thick.

The filling is prepared with grated cheese, cooked tomato, if desired, and a splash of salsa verde.

Warm the small tortillas lightly in a frying pan, then add a little of the filling, and double them over like quesadillas, and cook them in the cast iron frying pan, taking care to turn them only once. If using fresh masa, form small tortillas, add a little of the filling, double them like quesadillas, and cook them on the comal or frying pan.

Serve warm, with guacamole, refried beans, and chiles in vinegar. Top with red chile sauce as desired.
