Chicken Quesadillas

A chicken quesadilla is a Mexican dish made primarily of chicken meat with cheese inside a folded corn or wheat tortilla and cooked until the cheese melts. The word quesadilla comes from Spanish, and literally means “cheese in tortilla”. Most chicken quesadillas are prepared just folding and filling a common corn tortilla, but there are also others in which the tortilla is specially made for filling. In northern regions of Mexico, along the United States border quesadillas are also prepared with flour tortillas instead, and there’s even a deep fried variation, which preparation resembles more a pasty than a tortilla.
