  Quesadillas

  Mexican quesadillas are basically tortillas filled with cheese, meat, or veggies. They can be made from corn or wheat, but corn is more traditional. To make one, you fill the tortilla, fold it in half like a book, and cook it on both sides until it’s crispy and the cheese is melted. This gives the quesadilla its classic triangular shape. You can put all sorts of things inside, like chicken, steak, or veggies, and it’s a really popular food in Mexico. The combination of the crispy tortilla, the gooey cheese, and the savory fillings is what makes quesadillas so delicious.
