A Corn Tortilla Cheese Quesadilla is a traditional dish from Mexican cuisine known for its simplicity and flavor. It consists of a corn tortilla filled with melted cheese, typically Oaxaca or cheddar, and lightly grilled or toasted until golden. Corn tortillas, made from masa harina, are a gluten-free source of dietary fiber and essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium. Cheese provides calcium and protein but also contributes saturated fat and sodium, making portion control important for a balanced diet. This quesadilla can be paired with healthy additions like fresh vegetables, salsa, or guacamole to enhance nutrition and flavor. As a quick and versatile meal or snack, it reflects the rich culinary heritage of Mexico while offering opportunities for customization to suit different dietary preferences.
