Quesadillas

Quesadillas

The Mexican version of a grilled cheese sandwich, these snacks are delicious and easy to make. The basic quesadilla is made up of a tortilla, cheese, and other desired fillings. The tortilla is folded over and then browned or grilled on both sides before cutting into wedges and serving. You can fill a quesadilla with everything from ham and cheese, shrimp, papaya, and even corned beef!
