Did you know?

Quesadillas belong to colonial Mexico. People around the world today cook their own special versions of Quesadillas. Authentic Quesadillas can be savoured at Mexican restaurants. In the central and southern regions of Mexico, a Quesadilla is a flat roti-like circle of cooked corn masa called a tortilla, which is further warmed, folded into half and then filled. The filling is typically done using Oaxaca cheese – a stringy Mexican cheese. The quesadilla is then cooked until the cheese is completely melted. These quesadillas are cooked without oil and served with green or red salsa, chopped onion and guacamole. However, Oaxaca cheese is the most common filling, but sometimes other ingredients are also used to fill the quesadilla which includes cooked veggies such as mushrooms and cooked meat.
