How did I get this recipe?

The moment I found this recipe is one that will always be cherished in my heart. It was many years ago, when I was just a young girl living in a small village in Mexico. I was always fascinated by the sights and smells coming from the kitchens of the women in my community as they cooked up delicious meals for their families.

One day, as I was walking through the market, I came across an elderly woman selling fresh corn tortillas. The smell was intoxicating, and I couldn't resist buying a few to take home. As I chatted with the woman, she began telling me about a special recipe for Tortilla de Maiz con Queso Blanco that had been passed down through her family for generations.

I was intrigued and begged her to share the recipe with me. With a twinkle in her eye, she agreed, but only if I promised to keep it a secret and pass it on to future generations. I eagerly agreed, and she began to tell me how to make the delicious dish.

The first step was to make the corn tortillas from scratch. She showed me how to grind the corn kernels into a fine masa, then press them into thin discs and cook them on a hot griddle until they were golden brown and slightly crispy. The smell of the tortillas cooking was heavenly, and I couldn't wait to try them.

Next, she taught me how to make the queso blanco, a soft white cheese that would be the perfect complement to the tortillas. She explained that the cheese was made by curdling fresh milk with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar, then straining out the curds and pressing them into a soft, creamy cheese. It was a simple process, but one that required patience and care to get just right.

Finally, she showed me how to assemble the Tortilla de Maiz con Queso Blanco. She layered the warm tortillas with the queso blanco and a sprinkle of salt, then folded them over into a delicious, melty sandwich. The combination of the warm, crispy tortillas and the creamy, tangy cheese was pure perfection.

As I took my first bite of the Tortilla de Maiz con Queso Blanco, I knew that this recipe would become a staple in my own kitchen for years to come. The flavors were unlike anything I had ever tasted before, and I was grateful to the kind old woman for sharing her family's secret with me.

I spent the rest of the day cooking up batch after batch of the delicious tortillas, sharing them with my family and friends who all raved about how delicious they were. I made sure to keep my promise to the old woman and passed the recipe on to my own children, who continue to make and enjoy it to this day.

Every time I make Tortilla de Maiz con Queso Blanco, I think back to that special day in the market when I learned the recipe from the kind old woman. It reminds me of the importance of sharing traditions and recipes with the next generation, and of the joy that comes from creating delicious food to share with loved ones.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn this recipe and for the memories it has given me. It will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to make it with love and care for many years to come.
