Add salt to taste.

Queso Oaxaca, Poblano Chile and Mushroom Quesadillas

Roast fresh poblano chiles on a comal or grill until skins are burnt on all sides, then sweat them in a sealed plastic bag for twenty minutes. Peel the chilies and slice into strips. Roast cremini mushrooms on grill and slice.

Put the flour tortilla on the grill, place a handful of Queso Oaxaca (we used Albanian string cheese) onto the tortilla for a few moments, throw peppers and mushrooms on top and fold tortilla in half. Flip once to grill the other side.

Top with salsa and guacamole.
