Best Quesadilla in Sydney
“Cheese folded in a tortilla and cooked on a griddle—sometimes with meat and spices hidden inside.”
What the real thing tastes like
A quesadilla (; Spanish: [kesaˈðiʝa] ; Spanish diminutive of quesada) is a Mexican dish made from a tortilla folded in half or two tortillas that are filled with cheese (queso), and sometimes meats, spices, and other fillings, and then cooked on a griddle or stove. Traditionally, corn tortillas are used, but the dish can also be made with flour tortillas. Quesadillas are frequently sold at Mexican restaurants all over the world.

A quesadilla starts simple—a tortilla folded around melted cheese, then cooked until the exterior crisps on a griddle. Sometimes meat, spices, or other fillings slip inside before it hits the heat. Corn tortillas are traditional, though flour ones work too. It's the kind of dish that travels: made the same way in Mexico City kitchens and Mexican restaurants worldwide.
