Quesadilla

In most regions of Mexico, a quesadilla is a flat circle of cooked corn masa, called a "tortilla", warmed (to soften it enough to be) folded in half and filled with oaxaca cheese, then cooked until the cheese has melted. Often the quesadilas are served with green or red sauce and chopped onion and acified cream on top, to add taste to cheese. While oaxacan or string cheese is the most common filling, other ingredients are also used instead of cheese in traditional Mexican quesadillas, including cooked vegetables, such as potatoes with chorizo, pumpkin flowers, mushrooms, huitlacoche, and different types of cooked meat such as chicharron, tinga made of chicken or beef, or cooked pork. In most places quesadillas are also topped with other ingredients, additional to the fillings they already have: sour cream, avocado or guacamole, chopped onion and parsley are the most common. Salsas may also be added as a topping.
