cheese quesadilla
Folded grilled tortilla
A cheese quesadilla is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla folded around melted cheese and grilled or pan-fried until crispy.
The basic version contains only cheese, distinguishing it from quesadillas filled with meat, beans, or vegetables: I'll just have a cheese quesadilla.
A staple of casual Mexican and Tex-Mex dining.
