Quesadilla

Mexican food · cheese · griddle cooking · handheld meal

Cheese is the star.. The word quesadilla comes from queso, which means cheese in Spanish. Cheese is always in a quesadilla, and it melts beautifully when cooked on a hot griddle.

Two tortilla styles work.. Quesadillas can be made with corn tortillas or flour tortillas. Corn tortillas are more traditional in Mexico, but both types get crispy and delicious when cooked.

Cooked on a griddle.. A quesadilla is cooked on a flat griddle or stove until the outside turns golden and crispy while the cheese inside melts into gooey perfection.

Fill it how you like.. While cheese is essential, you can add meats, spices, and other toppings inside your quesadilla to make it your own special version.

Popular worldwide.. Quesadillas started in Mexico but are now sold at Mexican restaurants all around the world, making them a beloved international dish.
