A quesadilla (/ˌksəˈdjə/; Spanish: [kesaˈðiʝa] ; Mexican diminutive of quesada[1][2]) is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats, spices, and other fillings, and then cooked on a griddle or stove.[3] Traditionally, a corn tortilla is used, but it can also be made with a flour tortilla.
