Cheese Quesadillas

Cheese Quesadillas

EverydayCooked

Cheese quesadillas are a Mexican dish featuring melted cheese sandwiched between two flour or corn tortillas, grilled or pan-fried until golden and crisp. The cooked version contrasts a crispy exterior with a soft, stretchy cheese interior, typically using varieties like Oaxaca, cheddar, or Monterey Jack for optimal meltability. While rich in protein and calcium from cheese, they derive most carbohydrates from the tortilla base, with fat content varying by cheese type and cooking oil usage.
