Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla is a savory dish inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine, featuring a warm, golden-brown tortilla filled with shredded chicken, melted cheese, and often seasoned with spices like cumin or chili powder. Some versions may include extras such as sautéed peppers, onions, or fresh cilantro for added flavor. It is typically served with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side. Nutritionally, this dish offers protein from the chicken and calcium from the cheese, making it satisfying and potentially beneficial for muscle and bone health. However, its calorie and fat content can be high depending on the type of cheese, size, and optional toppings used. Opting for whole wheat tortillas, reduced-fat cheese, and plenty of fresh vegetables can make it a healthier choice while preserving its delicious appeal.
