A quesadilla is a popular Mexican delicacy consisting of a tortilla stuffed with cheese, and sometimes cooked pork, beef, or sausage, with toppings such as fresh tomatoes, herbs, sour cream, guacamole, herbs, or chilies, and then cooked on a heated cooking surface. Quesadillas are traditionally made with maize tortillas, but they can also be made with flour tortillas. This delicacy is believed to have originated in colonial Mexico.

There are numerous quesadilla variations that have been adapted to numerous fashions. In many American restaurants, it is served as an aperitif, and some variations include goat cheese, zucchini, spinach, or black beans.

Although quesadillas are typically served with cheese in Mexico, this is not the case in Mexico City. If you order a quesadilla, cheese must be specified.
