Quesadilla Al Pastor is a flavorful Mexican dish that combines traditional street food with comforting cheesy goodness. Originating in Mexico, al pastor is a marinated pork preparation influenced by Lebanese shawarma, seasoned with chili, pineapple, and aromatic spices. In this dish, the pork is layered inside a warm tortilla alongside melted cheese, often Oaxaca or mozzarella, and complemented by fresh toppings like cilantro, onions, and sometimes a squeeze of lime. While it offers a good source of protein from the pork and calcium from the cheese, the dish is also higher in saturated fat and sodium, especially if paired with additional sauces or guacamole. Fresh toppings contribute vitamins and fiber, balancing its richness. For a healthier option, choose whole wheat tortillas or reduce the cheese portion. Quesadilla Al Pastor is a delicious indulgence that showcases the bold and diverse flavors of Mexican cuisine.
