About Quesadilla with ham and cheese
A quesadilla with ham and cheese is a popular Mexican-inspired dish, made by layering savory ham and melted cheese between two golden, lightly toasted flour tortillas. This quick and satisfying meal blends creamy, rich flavors with a slight crispness, offering a delightful contrast in texture. While traditional quesadillas hail from Mexican cuisine, the addition of ham gives it a more fusion-style twist. On the nutrition front, the protein from ham and cheese can help with muscle repair and energy, while the tortillas provide a rapid source of carbohydrates. However, it should be enjoyed in moderation, as processed ham can be high in sodium and saturated fat. Opting for whole-grain tortillas, leaner cuts of ham, and reduced-fat cheese can make it a healthier option. Pairing it with a fresh side, like salsa or a mixed greens salad, helps balance the meal with added fiber and vitamins.
