    When I could get it regularly I used to make a Mexican pizza with it that always went over well.

    Mix of wheat flour and Masa fermented with sourdough starter. Huitlacoche mixed with crema as the sauce. Mix of cheeses, panela, cotija, etc. Then fresh chillies and chorizo on top.

      That sounds delicious! Love the idea of a huitlacoche sauce.
