A cheese quesadilla<\/strong> is a classic Mexican dish that has become popular worldwide. It consists of a flour or corn tortilla filled with melted cheese<\/a> and other optional fillings, then grilled or pan-fried until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is oozing. Quesadillas make for an easy, fast meal or snack that both kids and adults love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The word \"quesadilla<\/a>\" comes from the Spanish words \u201cqueso\u201d meaning cheese and \u201ctortilla\u201d meaning a thin round of unleavened bread. So literally, a quesadilla is a \"little cheese tortilla\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quesadillas originated in Mexico, dating back to the 16th century. They were made with simple ingredients - corn tortillas warmed on a griddle and filled with local Mexican cheeses like Oaxaca, queso quesadilla, or asadero cheese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the centuries, quesadillas evolved with the addition of other fillings like meats, beans, and vegetables. As they became popular in the United States, flour tortillas replaced corn, and cheeses like cheddar and Monterey jack<\/a> became the norm. Regardless of variations, the classic combo of melted cheese in a grilled tortilla remains the tasty essence of any quesadilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
