About Quesillo
Quesillo is a traditional dish from Nicaragua, celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavors. It consists of soft, stretchy cheese, typically made from fresh cow’s milk, paired with pickled onions, tangy cream, and a splash of vinegar, all wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. This street food staple is a source of protein and calcium, thanks to the cheese and cream, which support bone health and muscle function. The corn tortilla contributes fiber and energy-giving carbohydrates. While quesillo provides essential nutrients, its high-fat content from the dairy elements, particularly the cream, makes it calorie-dense. Moderation is key for those monitoring saturated fat intake. With its bold flavor and satisfying texture, quesillo delivers a unique taste of Nicaraguan culinary heritage while offering a balanced mix of nutrients when enjoyed as part of a varied diet.
