By CookUp • Issue #4 • View online
This week we’ll dive into the quesadilla. Which has its origins in colonial Mexico. It is pronounced as ‘kay-sa-dee-ah’ and roughly translates to “cheese-dude”. A quesadilla consists of a corn or flower tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats, beans, and spices, and then cooked on a griddle.
Quesadillas make a great lunch, snack or quick supper. They have changed and evolved over many years as people experimented with different variations. Let’s get to it and cook up some delicious quesadillas of your own.
