Whenever we hear the name Quesadilla, our taste buds actually feel the flavor of it. Quesadilla is a tortilla which is usually made from flour, however, sometimes it is also made with corn. It is always filled with cheese and other fillings like chicken and vegetables with some spices of course. Quesadilla is grilled and folded in a large half-moon shape.
History of Quesadilla
The quesadilla was originated in the central and southern regions of Mexico. Over the years it has evolved as a food as many people tried it with variations in the recipe. It is commonly sold in Mexico but quesadillas are also available in restaurants offering Mexican food such as Sunrise Tacos Mexican Grill restaurants in Bangkok.
There are many different ways to cook a quesadilla. Many people try out different things to make their own quesadilla but traditionally, a quesadilla is made with large flour tortilla. It is warmed to soften in enough to be folded in half. When it is folded, it is filled with cheese and other fillings like vegetables and meat. There are different spices the meats are marinated with to give a tempting flavor that people crave for. Many people confuse a quesadilla with a cheese sandwich but quesadilla is not made from bread and therefore it is not a sandwich. The tortilla is not a bread because it has a different consistency and texture.
If not grilled, quesadillas can also be fried to make quesadilla fritas. Mexican quesadillas are traditionally cooked on a comal, which is also used to prepare tortillas. The main difference is that the traditional ones are made by filling the partially cooked tortillas and then cooked until the cheese melts. The fried ones are made like a pastry and immersed into hot oil until the exterior becomes crispy and golden. The choice of preparing a quesadilla depends on your taste and choice. We do not sell fritas at Sunrise Tacos Mexican Grill, as its unhealthy but it does taste good.:)
