quesadillas
Folded Mexican flatbread
Quesadillas is the plural of quesadilla, a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla folded around melted cheese and other fillings, then grilled or pan-fried.
The fillings vary—chicken, beef, vegetables, beans—but cheese is essential.
We ordered chicken quesadillas and guacamole.
In American restaurants, quesadillas are often served as appetizers or casual fare.
