Quesadilla is a Mexican delicacy prepared from cheese folded inside of a corn or wheat tortilla. The dish is not only popular in Mexico, but has also gained popularity worldwide and is savored by people all across the world. Though quesadilla is a Mexican dish, it has got its name from a Spanish word meaning “cheesy tortilla”. Often mistaken for another Spanish dish called “quesada”, which is nothing but a cheese pie, quesadilla is fairly different and has a taste of its own.

Although the traditional quesadilla is stuffed with cheese, in recent times the original recipe has undergone variations outside Mexico and is stuffed with ingredients other than cheese. The stuffing mainly includes pumpkin flower, spinach, mushrooms, beans, sausages, chicken, carne asada, ham, refried beans, sour cream, avocado or guacamole, potatoes, eggs, hamburger, shrimp, bacon, and even salsa.

Apart from these ingredients, another major factor that enhances the savor of this exotic dish is the quesadilla sauce. The dish is often served with a special sauce prepared from mayonnasie, pepper, jalapeno, garlic, and many other spices. Most people usually think that to enjoy the traditional flavor of this sauce one has to go to a Mexican restaurant, as preparing it at home can be very difficult and time-consuming, which is not really the case.
