Quesadillas

A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas.
