A tortilla with cheese, often referred to as a quesadilla in Mexican cuisine, is a simple yet flavorful dish. It consists of a flour or corn tortilla filled with melted cheese, which may be enhanced with additional ingredients like vegetables, spices, or meats. Originating from Mexico, this dish is celebrated for its versatility, serving as a quick snack or a hearty meal. Cheese provides protein and calcium, contributing to bone health, while the tortilla offers energy-boosting carbohydrates. However, the nutritional profile varies depending on ingredients and preparation. Whole-grain tortillas and low-fat cheeses offer a healthier option, while excessive use of high-fat cheese or fried preparation can increase calories and saturated fats. Moderation and mindful ingredient choices allow this savory treat to fit into a balanced diet while still delivering its signature warmth and indulgent flavor.
