In Mexico, a quesadilla is more like what we think of as a grilled cheese sandwich, but with tortillas instead of bread. In Guatemala, these sweet little cheese things are like buttery cupcakes, and they are baked as special-occasion treats for children who've had a good report card or lost a tooth.
Cooks' notes:
· Cakes are best eaten the day they are made. · Cakes can also be baked in lined mini-muffin pans for 30 minutes; recipe yields 30 mini muffins.
