/Sounds like 'weet-la-KO-che'/
A black fungus that grows on corn, considered a delicacy in Mexico with a deep, earthy, mushroom-like flavor. Used in quesadillas, soups, and sauces — called 'corn smut' in English, but that name doesn't do it justice.
"Huitlacoche quesadillas with Oaxacan cheese are an absolute luxury."
"A lot of foreigners can't believe huitlacoche is actually delicious."
