Quesadilla is a traditional Mexican dish made by filling a soft tortilla, typically made from corn or flour, with melted cheese and often additional ingredients like vegetables, meats, or beans. It is then folded and cooked on a griddle until crispy and golden. While rich in flavor, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation. Quesadillas provide protein from cheese and other fillings, as well as fiber if whole-grain tortillas or vegetables are used. However, they can also be high in saturated fats and calories, particularly with large portions or added oils and processed toppings. Opting for lean proteins, lighter cheese, and loading up on veggies can make them a well-rounded choice. With roots in Mexican cuisine, quesadillas are versatile and enjoyed worldwide as a snack or meal.
