Quesadilla (pron: kay-sah-DEE-yah) – is made of a flour or corn tortilla, filled with cheese and/or vegetable and meat. This dish originated in Mexico (ME hi co- like the Spanish say it). A quesadilla is made with a tortilla which is filled with cheese and/ or other ingredients like as avocado, meat, vegetable. The filled tortilla is warmed until the cheese is melted. One can toast, grill or even fry the quesadilla.
I prepared this recipe using leftover chappatis, it’s a quick fix meal with a few ingredients. Toasting the tortilla gives it a nice crunch on the outside.
