About Cheese quesidia
Cheese Quesadilla is a classic dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, traditionally made with a tortilla filled with melted cheese and cooked until golden and crisp. Typically, a flour or corn tortilla is used, and the cheese selection can range from classic Mexican varieties like Oaxaca or Chihuahua to more common options such as cheddar or Monterey Jack. While deliciously simple, cheese quesadillas may include additional fillings like beans, vegetables, or proteins to enhance flavor and nutritional value. On the healthier side, they provide calcium and protein thanks to the cheese, along with fiber if whole-grain tortillas are chosen. However, they can be high in saturated fat, sodium, and calories if made with excessive cheese or butter for cooking. For a balanced option, consider using reduced-fat cheese and pairing the quesadilla with salsa or a fresh salad for a nutrient-rich meal.
