Mix harina de maíz, agua, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc using a tortilla press or rolling pin.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with manteca vegetal.

Cook each disc for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Remove the discs and place Queso duro blando and Queso fresco on half of each disc.

Fold the discs in half to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.

Return the folded quesadillas to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve with crema salvadoreña and dulce panela.
