About Quesadilla de queso

Quesadilla de Queso, a staple of Mexican cuisine, is a simple yet satisfying dish made with a tortilla, traditionally corn or flour, filled with melted cheese. Popular for its versatility, it can be cooked on a griddle or skillet, with optional additions like vegetables, meats, or spices for extra flavor. This comfort food offers a creamy texture and a crispy exterior when perfectly prepared. While cheese provides calcium and protein, making it a source of energy and nutrition, the dish can also be calorie-dense, particularly if made with large amounts of cheese or served with sour cream and guacamole. Opting for whole-grain tortillas and moderate cheese portions can boost its health profile. Ideal as a snack, meal, or appetizer, Quesadilla de Queso is beloved for its balance of simplicity and flavor.
