Quesadilla Recipes

Book excerpt: A quesadilla is one of the most popular Mexican foods in America and other countries. By changing the types of cheese, or other fillings in the quesadilla, a wide variety can be created. A quesadilla consists of a tortilla that is filled with cheese, and sometimes meat, spices, vegetables and other fillings, and then cooked on a stove or griddle. Quesadillas are traditionally made with a corn or flour tortilla, but other types are sometimes used. Quesadillas are often garnished with various condiments, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Once the quesadilla is cooked it can be cut into wedges and then used to dip or scoop the traditional sides before eaten. These delicious quesadilla recipes may be enjoyed on Cinco de Mayo any time of the day or year and in any part of the world.
