Quesadilla
QUESADILLA
A quesadilla is a Mexican dish and type of sandwich, consisting of a tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats and spices, and then cooked on a griddle. Traditionally, a corn tortilla is used, but it can also be made with a flour tortilla, particularly in northern Mexico and the United States.
The quesadilla has its origins in colonial Mexico. The quesadilla as a food has changed and evolved over many years as people experimented with different variations of it.[4] Quesadillas are frequently sold at Mexican restaurants all over the world.
Quesadillas have been adapted to many different styles. In the United States, many restaurants serve them as appetizers, after adding their own twist.[14] Some variations use goat cheese, black beans, spinach, zucchini, or tofu. A variation that combines the ingredients and cooking technique of a quesadilla with pizza toppings has been described as a “pizzadilla”.
Even dessert quesadillas are made, using ingredients such as chocolate, butterscotch, caramel and different fruits.
Breakfast quesadillas are also made, using ingredients such as eggs, cheese, cottage cheese , chicken and bacon.
