The quesadilla has ancient roots in Mexico, with variations existing since the colonial era. Early forms were simple corn tortillas filled with cheese and other ingredients, cooked over a comal (griddle). Over time, regional variations developed, incorporating diverse fillings and preparation methods. The introduction of wheat tortillas expanded the possibilities.

The flavors of a quesadilla are typically savory and cheesy, with the potential for spicy or smoky notes depending on the filling.
The primary flavor is provided by the cheese, often a melting cheese like Oaxaca, Chihuahua, or Monterey Jack. The choice of meat, such as grilled chicken, steak, or pork, adds another layer of savory flavor. Spices and seasonings used in the meat preparation (e.g., cumin, chili powder, garlic) contribute to the overall taste profile. Optional additions like grilled vegetables (onions, peppers) and salsas further enhance the flavor complexity. Sour cream provides a tangy coolness, while guacamole offers a creamy, rich avocado flavor.

Cheese Selection
Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Oaxaca cheese is a classic choice, but Monterey Jack or a blend of cheeses also work well.
Tortilla Quality
Choose high-quality tortillas that are pliable and don't easily tear. Freshly made tortillas are always the best option.
Even Cooking
Cook the quesadilla over medium heat to ensure the cheese melts completely and the tortilla browns evenly without burning. Press down gently with a spatula to help the tortilla cook evenly.
Preventing sogginess
If you add meat to a quesadilla make sure it's drained properly so that it doesn't make it soggy when grilled.
