Did you know ‘quesadilla’ literally means ‘little cheesy thing’ in Spanish? Get ready to add some spice into your life with these fun quesadilla recipes.
What do you need to make a quesadilla
The basic ingredients for a quesadilla are tortillas and cheese. Then the tortilla is grilled or fried on a pan. But you can also add an endless amount of toppings to make them your own. And even though it is a Mexican food, you can adapt it to many different cuisines also – like making it Italian with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese.
